    Powershell.exe has been blocked, what does that mean?


    What does this mean? Every 1 hour this notification will pop up and I know that powershell.exe is a legit microsoft application, but why does the windows security always block it? And how do I prevent from this annoying notification from happening again? Thanks.

    :)

    PowerShell instead of Commandline in Creators Update

    Interestingly enough my personal laptop just got the update...and still has Command Prompt listed, not PowerShell...

    Edit: Not that it matters...I use both regularly. *Toast :toast:

    UAC Blocking WINRAR exe.

    I did the test I suggested. It is definitely a permissions issue. Tried to extract the contents, and it barked loudly at me. I think you would have to change the permissions at the root level and down for folder "Program Files". Not recommended.
