Windows 10: how do I open exe files

Hey, I had a problem with opening exe files on my windows 11 it says, "This app has been blocked by your administrator" This goes for any exe file I download. it is a school laptop though. I've tried to enable the built in admin, but command prompt is block so I can't use the code that enables it "net user administrator /active:yes" it doesn't work in PowerShell either. it just says this user could not be found. any other suggestions on how to open exe files?

:)

 

Exe file slow to open

A SFX archive isn't going to open right away. The files have to be extracted first. When you are opening it in WinRar, it's not extracting the file, it's just reading it which is why it opens right away.

 

can't open .exe files windows 10

Nothing happens after i I click on any .exe file

 

Exe files can only be opened by "run as administrator"

Hi,

Corrupted registry settings, some third-party products, or viruses can change the default configuration for running .exe files. To rectify the issue with opening this particular file type, we suggest that you follow the steps
below:

• Right-click on the Start button, then choose Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
• Type regedit and press Enter.
  
• Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe.
  
• Double-click (Default) key, then set the Value data to
  exefile.
  
• Scroll down to go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command key.
  
• Double-click (Default) key, then set the Value data to “%1” %*.
• Restart your computer.
