Windows 10: Administrator? blocking my programs!

I am just setting up my new HP desktop and when I try to load my printer, which I was already using in Windows 10 on my old computer, I get an error message saying that is being blocked by the Administrator. I am they administrator.


Also it will not let me run the Optimize Drives feature.

How do I fix this?

Windows 10 - The administrator has blocked..

Looked and applied much of the suggestions given without success.

Logged on as administrator and downloaded program successfully. Opens and runs fine in administrator mode however when I user the standard mode program does not run and "The administrator has blocked.." pop-up reappears.

Any suggestions?

 

Administrator blocked you from running this program

This is Microsoft interfering (with or without justification ?) with the running of programs that they believe will cause issues with your destop/laptop/notebook. A fix that worked for me for a program I know will not ruin my wife's computer (the one I'm
using right now) is to run the program from an elevated command prompt. In the search box next to the Windows 10 button, type in cmd and then wait - at the top of the list that appears there should be an entry "Command Prompt" with the sub-text "Desktop app"
- right-click on this entry and then left-click on "Run as administrator" (which should be the first entry) - use the dos prompt to navigate to the location of the program that Windows 10 is blocking - then simply type in the name of the program/application
and hit enter

Caution:

• If you follow the above then you do so at your own risk
• You need to be sure that the program is virus-free, malware-free, etc
  
• You need to be sure that there are no known compatibility issues between the program and Windows 10, and vice-versa
• You need to be competent with correctly identifying the location of the blocked program from the error message and with Dos prompts (i.e. changing directories)

My PCBackup suddenly blocked by Administrator (that's me)

User Account Control is a very important component of Microsoft's overall security image. It helps prevent unauthorized changes on your computer which may affect its security. To resolve your issue, we suggest that you turn off the User Account Control and
see if it would let you access the program again. To turn off User Account Control in Windows 10, follow the provided steps below:

• Open your User Control Settings by clicking Start button, and then clicking
  Control Panel. In the search box, type uac, and then click Change User Account Control settings.
• To turn off UAC, move the slider to the Never notify position, and then click
  OK. If you’re prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password and provide confirmation. You will need to restart your computer for UAC to be turned off.

Note: Turning off these feature would possibly allow you to open the blocked program but can affect the security of your device.

Hope this the steps above works for you.
