    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I appreciate your interest in Windows 10. We sincerely regret for the inconvenience caused.

    Disclaimer:

    Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it
    to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    MRT blocked by system administrator?

    Hello MeesterJake

    please follow these methods

    Method 1

    check the setting of Applocker in GPO.

    The path of the Applocker is Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Application Control Policies.

    Method 2

    -Activate hidden administrator account

    If you have an administrator account you can just switch to it and install the application, but if you don’t have the administrator account you can activate the hidden administrator account and use it install the application.

    To active hidden administrator account do the following:

    Start Command Prompt as administrator. You can do so by following Step 1 from the previous solution.

    When Command Prompt starts, type the following and press Enter to run it:

    net user administrator /active:yes

    An administrator has blocked you from running this app Windows 10

    Sign out of your current account.

    You should see new Administrator account available. Log in to it.

    Locate the application you want to install and run it.

    You should be able to install it without any problems.

    After you’re done, switch back to your regular account.

    If you want to disable administrator account, run Command Prompt like in Step 1, and type the following:

    net user administrator /active:no

    If the issue persist

    Method 3

    sometimes your antivirus software can enforce certain policies that can prevent you from installing or running certain applications. To fix that, you need to check your antivirus settings and see if the antivirus is blocking the application.

    If you can’t find these options, you might want to try disabling your antivirus

    Method 4

    -Disable Windows SmartScreen

    Sign in to the administrator account. If you don’t have administrator account enable one like we explained in the previous solution.

    Open the Settings app.

    Navigate to Update & security section.

    Your administrator has blocked this application because it potentially poses a security risk

    Select Windows Defender from the menu on the left. In the right pane, click Open Windows Defender Security Center button.

    An administrator has blocked you from running this app Windows 10

    Now click on App & browser control.

    Your administrator has blocked this application because it potentially poses a security risk

    Set all options to Off. To turn off SmartScreen feature, you need to set Check apps and files, SmartScreen for Microsoft Edge, and SmartScreen for Windows Store apps to Off.

    Method 5

    -Make changes to the group policy

    If you’re getting Your Administrator Has Blocked This Program error message, the problem might be caused by your Group Policy settings. However, you can easily fix that by making a few changes. To do that, just follow these steps:

    Press Windows Key + R and enter gpedit.msc. Press Enter or click OK. This will start Group Policy Editor on your PC. Keep in mind that this feature isn’t available on Home versions of Windows, but you can enable Group Policy Editor in Home version of Windows
    10 with a few tricks.

    Your system administrator has blocked this program GPO

    When Group Policy Editor opens, navigate to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options in the left pane. In the right pane, double click on User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval
    Mode.

    Your system administrator has blocked this program Avast

    When the Properties window opens, select Disabled and click on Apply and OK to save changes.

    Your administrator has blocked this application because it potentially poses a security risk

    If you can’t access Group Policy Editor, you can also make these changes from Registry Editor by doing the following:

    Press Windows Key + R and enter regedit. Press Enter or click OK to start Registry Editor.

    An administrator has blocked you from running this app Windows 10

    When Registry Editor opens, in the left pane navigate to ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem key. In the right pane, double click on EnableLUA DWORD.

    Your system administrator has blocked this program Regedit

    Change the Value data to 0 and click OK to save changes.

    Your system administrator has blocked this program AVG

    After doing that, restart your PC

    I hope it helps you
