Windows 10: Disable Windows 10 "App has been blocked"

Online I've only seen work-arounds posted that involve logging into the built in Administrator account and running it from there, but I want to disable this app blocking entirely for any account.
How do?

Samsung Easy Settings blocking Windows Update

I have a Samsung Notebook 300E. I installed windows 10 some months ago, and it disabled Samsung Easy Settings (but did not tell me to remove it). All has been OK, but now, I cannot install the Anniversary Update because Windows Update says I must remove
Easy Settings, but when I try to uninstall I get the message "This app has been blocked for your protection". What do I do now?

 

THIS APP HAS BEEN BLOCKED FOR YOUR PROTECTION

How can I get past "This App has been blocked for your protection" in Windows 10? I need to install a valid program, but even when I try to do as an administrator, I'm told to "see the administrator."

 

Move to other Windows Version

 

Have you installed the latest version directly from their website?

I'm not a developer so my knowledge is pretty limited, however it sounds like maybe they had a problem with their code-signing certificate not too long ago? Who knows, maybe due to recent changes where sha-1 code signing certificates are being deprecated and no longer being valid if timestamped after 1/1/2016 or have no timestamp at all?

If you've uninstalled any older versions of IrfanView and installed the latest version shown above directly from their website (where it seems like they fixed some issues), it maybe something worth taking up directly with InfraView on their forum. I wouldn't disable any features to bypass the "This app has been blocked for your protection" warning dialogue, as it's there to protect users. You need to get to the root cause of why the publisher is not trusted and the first point of call would be to contact IrfanView themselves as their developers should have a greater understanding why their executable is showing the publisher as untrusted.

 

Just a follow up, for IrfanView 4.41 the code-signing certificate was revoked by their Certificate Authority for some reason. Therefore that certificate can not and should not be trusted again. If you are using IrfanView 4.41, this is why you are getting the warning dialogue saying that the publisher is "Not Trusted".
