Windows 10: An Administrator has blocked you from running this app, but I am the administrator

Hello, so recently my laptop has been going nuts. I am the only user on the computer, and my account is an administrator account with full access. The computer is blocking me from accessing some apps due to the error saying' An Administrator has blocked you from running this app. For more information, please contact the administrator'. However, I am the only administrator on the computer and no one else is using it. Please try and help me, much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

an administrator has blocked you from running this app


I am trying out this 'getprivate' software and it installed correctly. When it run for first time it has no problem. when I close the windows, next time I launch it, it won't open, a window pop up, 'an administrator has blocked your from this app.

I did some research on web about this error. I tried turned off user control, change user type from administrator to limited. still doing the same.



any suggestions??

 

Win8.1 can "Run as administrator" be deactived?

Just like Windows 7 you have two options.

1.) Turn off User Account Control. This will automatically run everything as administrator.
2.) Use the hidden True Administrator account. This will break most of the Apps in Windows 8 though(some consider this a good thing*Laugh :laugh.

The option to run as administrator will still be there, but you'll never have to use it.

 

administrator has blocked


Is there any way to work around this besides logging out then login back in as administrator?

I did this to log in as administrator. “net user administrator /active:yes” I was only trying to install Cisco Connect from Linksys. After I got it installed, I can't run it except logging out and back in again as administrator.
