Windows 10: Blocking apps for a certain time

Hey! I was wondering if I could block a certain app on my pc for a certain time like the chrome extension Block Site, which blocks sites for a certain time you choose I searched it up and could not find anything, does anyone know an application that does this? Or a way to do it with Microsoft I won't use family controls, just as an FYI if someone mentions that.

blocked applications

Hi Eileen,

Windows Defender or another antivirus software will sometimes block a certain app or file from running or being installed. With this, you can check the
quarantine section of the antivirus program you are using to see which program is being blocked. To better assist you, we need the answers to the following questions:

• What is the exact error message did you receive after launching or running the app?
• Which antivirus program are you using?

In the meantime, we suggest disabling the Windows Defender SmartScreen and see if the app will run. To do this, simply follow the steps below:

• Type Windows Defender on the search box and click on the first option.
• On the left side of the window, click on the Window icon (App & browser control).
• On the SmartScreen for Windows
  Store apps column, select Off.

We are looking forward to your response.

 

Blocking certain callers

New user to Windows phone. I recently switched from a BLU android phone to a BLU Windows Phone. On BLU android I was able to add certain callers to a "block list." I can't seem to find this option in WinPhone. Is it available? If not, can it be made available?
TIA.
