Windows 10: Windows wont let app run or load new program exe

For some reason Windows 10 has blocked an app I have been using for years. Windows 10 security lists it as a potentially unwanted app. When I click Actions it only allows Remove or Quarantine. I do not want to do either. Where is the option to ALLOW? The exe file to install the program even has a little windows defender shield on it now so it will not let the app reinstall the program! How do I get Windows 10 to allow it? I have gone into Potentially unwanted app blocking and turned it off, but nothing works. Ive turned controlled folder access off too. Windows 10 version 2004 (OS build 19041.928) Thanks to anyone who can help with this frustrating problem.

I inadvertently clicked the Torrent item in this image the other day and the download got blocked as one of the sites Torrent was working with had an issue. No problem with the direct download.

I Googled this problem and I saw someone suggest I right-click on the exe file and click "Troubleshoot Compatability" which I did. Somehow that made the exe file install utorrent. So far utorrent works fine. However, I still have those little windows security shields over the exe file. Not sure why.
