Windows 10: All of my Shortcuts are blocked by "The Administrator"

Something I have done or installed has created a very strange situation on my PC (Windows 10 Pro x64).

All of my programs will run as normal if I select / click on them. However, if I click on a Shortcut to that same program I get an error message as follows ...

"Your system administrator has blocked this program. For more information, contact your system administrator."


It obviously goes without saying that I *am* the system administrator and ONLY user on this PC !!!


Turning it off & on again doesn't help , BTW !!!


Thanks in advance ...

:)

• Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
• Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
• Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
