    MRT blocked by system administrator?


    Hey all, trying to run mrt on win 10, and keep getting pop-up that says this app has been blocked by your system administrator. I've found several posts that said to delete specific registry keys, but when I went into Regedit, those keys weren't present. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

    Malicious Removal Tool (MRT) Blocked by System Administrator


    I'll add to this thread as this seemed to be the best way to deal with the issue, I have 4 Win 10 devices, all now on Creators edition 2017-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1703 (KB4034674) and have had different solutions to the same issue of the Admin blocking MRT

    (1). Asus Zenbook (64 bit) and (2) Cheap Win Tablet(32 bit) - Issue disappeared with update above (MRT now not blocked)
    (3) Compaq 3230 Core 2 Duo Laptop (64bit) (Win 8.0-8.1-10 upgrades) registry keys as described above found and deleted (MRT now not blocked)
    (4) Current desktop (32 bit) (Sandy Bridge i5 2500) Win 7 to 10 upgrade now on Creators 1703, no mention of MRT or keys in Brinks suggested locations and still blocked by the Administrator (who I am).

    I've added the 32-bit and 64bit descriptions as KB4034674 comes in both flavours. I've not tried nuking the policies registry on my desktop as I'm not confident with RegEdit and that that I might inadvertently do damage. Has anybody seen issue 4 and have they managed to solve it?

    Hi VicdeB

    Sorry I'm not sure what's going on with your issue number 4. I'll have to leave that to someone here who has more expertise in this area than I do. BTW though, have you downloaded the August edition of MRT through Windows Update and I'm assuming MRT does appear in your C:\Windows\System32 Folder?

    Cheers, Neil.

    MRT blocked by system administrator?

    Malicious Removal Tool (MRT) Blocked by System Administrator


    Hello Friends!

    I attempted to 'run' a quick scan of Microsoft's 'Malicious Removal Tool', however, when I try to, a window appears on my laptop which says 'This App has been blocked by your System Administrator. Contact your System Administrator for more info'.

    I am running Windows 10 Home x64 and I am the local Administrator.

    I'd appreciate it if someone could please provide instructions on how I can unblock MRT so I can run a quick scan.

    Thank you in advance for your assistance.
