How to fix this app has been blocked for your protection?

Hello,

Before you do anything, we would like to pinpoint that "This app has been blocked for your protection" is a legitimate warning message that is designed to stop users from installing malicious programs on their Windows machines.

Therefore, you should first make sure that the app you are trying to install is actually safe. As the message says - it can be dangerous and Windows blocking it might save you from infecting your machine with malware.

In case "This app has been blocked for your protection" User Account Control error shows up when trying to install legitimate applications continually, or the pop-up shows up when trying to run programs already installed on the system, then it might be that you are affected by a known bug which can be easily fixed.
