What is the definitive fix for MRT? This app has been blocked
I can tell you this does not work, since (a) there is no path to the MRT executable that shows up when you do a search, you do hit a dozen dll files and stuff. (b) login in as an admin does not help either.
There are Registry hacks and I cannot find any references to the MRT there either, in given links.
is there a definitive solution? And why does this problem exist in the first place, it should work out of the box. I downloaded the latest version of MRT and the installer does not work, when clicking on the install app, nothing happens.
OPTION ONE
Bypass "This app has been blocked for your protection" in Elevated Command Prompt
1. Open an elevated command prompt.
2. Type the full path of the app within quotes like below into the elevated command prompt, and press Enter.
"full path of app"
For example:
"C:\Dell\Drivers\24T1W\R235168\Setup.exe"

and this does not work either, since I am *already* logged in as admin:
OPTION TWO
Bypass "This app has been blocked for your protection" in built-in Administrator account
1. If you haven't already, enable the built-in elevated Administrator account.
2. Switch user from your account to sign in to the built-in elevated Administrator account.
3. Run or install the blocked app.
4. When successfully finished installing or running the app, sign out of the built-in elevated Administrator account.
5. Sign back in to your account.
6. If you like, disable the built-in elevated Administrator account.
