Friends, When attempting to install an application on various Windows operating systems such as Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2022, or even older versions of windows server, you might encounter a frustrating error message that reads: “This app has been blocked for your protection. An administrator has blocked you from running this app.” Even though installing or running apps on Windows is usually simple, this error message can cause problems.
Friends Generally you encountered this problem after updating your Windows operating system. However, it can arise from various situations. For instance, I experienced this error when I made a new admin account by disabling the main administrator account on my Windows Server 2022.

An administrator has blocked you from running this app.”
