    Cannot install Power Toys


    I run Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron laptop. I just tried to install the latest Power Toys, but was "blocked by administrator." A website suggesting setting up an admin account and install it from there. I created the administrator account, logged into it, right-clicked on the installer, and clicked on "Run as Administrator." I still got the "blocked by administrator" message. After I logged back into my normal account, I downloaded and ran the Install/Uninstall Troubleshooter, but it couldn't find anything wrong. I'm already having trouble with updating OneNote although other programs update

    :)

    Hi,

    Tried as you suggested, but Desktop icon clicking it simply fails to open Power toys. Using the Administrator opens the Start>Settings>Apps>Apps Features, other than that nothing other can be found.

    Potential problem with new Power Toys App

    Yes indeed, this version of PowerToys bears little resemblance to the old XP set of utilities. To misquote an old proverb "Install in haste, repent at leisure!". Geek Uninstaller would have been my next step if System Restore hadn't worked its magic, then restore from a Casper image if that was unsuccessful.
