In my experience, fixing the “UAC This App Blocked” error can be a frustrating process.
Bypassing App Blocks in Elevated Command Prompt
To bypass app blocks in an elevated command prompt, you can follow these steps. First, open the Command Prompt as an administrator by searching for “cmd” in the Windows search bar, right-clicking on Command Prompt, and selecting “Run as administrator.” Next, navigate to the location of the blocked application by using the “cd” command.
Type the name of the application executable followed by “/c” to run the application in the elevated command prompt.
If the application still doesn’t run, you can try disabling User Account Control (UAC) temporarily. To do this, search for “UAC” in the Windows search bar, move the slider to the bottom, and click “OK.”
Altering File Permissions and Digital Signatures
- Right-click on the file or application that is causing the error.
- Click on Properties from the context menu.
