    Unknown publisher files won't run regardless of if I allow them to or not


    I Run the file and get told it's not trustworthy. I still run the file, but the file closes the moment it opens. Some smaller files like fnf mods won't launch at all. I think they close too fast. Larger files will open but close instantly.I feel like I tried everything, help.I don't get an error or anything, file just closes

    :)

    Can't run program with 'unknown publisher'

    I am attempting to open a program with an unknown publisher.

    Before the April 2018 update, I would see a prompt upon lunching the program that would inform me that this program had an unknown publisher. This prompt would allow me to select the 'Run Anyway' option. Since the April 2018 update, this prompt does
    not display. The program does not run and does not show up in the task manager. I currently know of a workaround by disabling a feature in Windows Defender. My question is, will there be a fix for this soon?

    Windows Defender Security Center -> App & Browser Control -> turn off -> Check apps and files

    unknown publisher

    I keep getting requests to allow to make changes to my computer from an unknown publisher. The program name is CM Tray.exe. What is that? Should I allow? If not, how do I prevent this message from appearing?

    Allow App from Unknown Publisher - disable for a single app: I've perused the threads in this forum that deal with UAC and bottom line is that every solution offered is worthless. Nothing works. I've unblocked the relevant .exe files with PowerShell, there are no "unblock" checkboxes in properties, etc. etc. It shouldn't be that...
