    Can’t run program


    Windows 10 pro won’t let me run a program and says it contains a virus or potentially unwanted software “. I know for a fact that it’s safe. I got defender turned off. And still can’t run it! Any ideas?

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Hello

    You mentioned checking the the box 'Run as Administrator'

    This is the opposite of what I require ,I wanted to avoid running programs as admin . By unchecking 'Run As Administrator' I am still getting an admin credential verification prompt

    Any further suggestions ?
