    latest windows 10 update will not let my .exe program run


    I have a Creator.exe program that has been successfully running on Windows 10.


    I have Windows Security set to allow this app through Controlled Access folder.


    After the latest Windows update, when trying to run the .exe, I get a red box stating that "This app has been blocked for your protection".


    How to I get the application .exe to run?


    Thanks.

    :)

  4. latest windows 10 update will not let my .exe program run

    Cannot run .exe files

    I rebooted my computer and it downloaded some updates. When it restarted, I could no longer run any .exe files. When I click on one, it asks me which program I would like to use to run it. Obviously, there are no programs on the list it offers me. The
    weirdest part is that some downloaded applications (like chrome, thankfully) still run. Any suggestions on how I can fix this or what happened?
