    UAC Blocking WINRAR exe. [​IMG]


    The same file in the Downloads folder can be unRAR'd no problem. This started happening around 1 month ago, so something has changed in UAC. I am the only admin on this PC. How do I remove this restriction?

    :)

    UAC is blockes

    Hi,

    UAC was doing fine after clicking OK, suddenly it started asking password, even after inserting the password, system is not accepting. Even CMD admin and other system commands are not accepted.

    Yes, I can open XL, Word and still 3rd part apps are blocked by UAC.

    I can't even do a fresh installation, because boot is blocked by UAC.

    Thanks, await for your reply

    Cannot install WinRAR

    I need to extract a file from a WinRAR file.

    When I run the executable I get a popup with a red header saying The App has been blocked for your protection. An Administrator has blocked you from running this app, for more information contact the administrator.

    This is a Home PC, I'm the administrator. The file passes a Defender Scan.

    I've turned off UAC, rebooted etc, what else do I need to do?

    Thanks.

    Grant a specific application permanent UAC permission

    Hello jaksps,

    In line with your concern, User Account Control doesn't have a "allowed-or-blocked" list and disabling the User Account Control involves security risks. Though, there is a workaround to run a program without UAC prompt using Task Scheduler. I'd recommend
    performing the steps suggested by SpiritX MS MVP in this
    thread
    .

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.
