Window 10 Error : "This app has been blocked for your protection"

I had this issue a few days ago while installing my D-link USB modem (model No. DWM 156) on windows 10 OS.It always show me this following error:-

"This app has been blocked for your protection"
[An administrator has blocked you from running this app. For more information contact the administrator]

 Actually the D-link modem certificate was intend to work on the previous windows version and also its application do not having the publisher name so the windows build in administrator stopped to install its application.

I did surf a lot for this and got similar solution all over the web but none of those are worked for me. So i figured it our by combining the solution which i have found over the web and i succeed :).


Here is the solution:


Method 1 


(This method we are using to install the app. In this method your issue can completely solve or it will install the app but may be could not run on the machine, if it will run the app then try the second method which is mentioned below.

Step 1: Click on the start button and type "cmd", It will highlight the command prompt. Open that command prompt as administrator by right click on it.

Step 2: Type this command   />   net user administrator /active:yes
This command will activate the build in user.

Step 3: click on the start button and sign out from the current user from the top of the panel.

Step 4: Once you sign out log in to the administrator account.

Step 5: After logged in to the administrator account. Try to install the app by locating its setup on the drive.
and that will definitely work.

Step 6: Now sign out from the administrator account and login to your previous account

Step 7: When logged in to the previous account run that app and it will start (If it will not start try the Method 2 ).

Step 8: Open the command prompt as administrator and run this command to deactivate the built in admnistrator
/>   net user administrator /active:no



Method 2 :


In case your app is not run with first method then you can run the app by the following method

Step 1: Open the command prompt as administrator.

Step 2: Locate the program installed which you want to run C:/Program Files/ your app.exe
Hit enter

This will also run the app.



You can also install the app from the command prompt too by locating the setup file from the command prompt.


Thank you..
