The problem is the Windows Defender. Check that the program you are trying to launch isn't blocked or quarantined. Hope this helps!
thank you bro
Super bro
Thanks for the information dude.
thanx a lot bro.
@@semihferati9063 you're welcome mate
What's it mean when you get this error but then after waiting a few seconds and then trying to open the program again, it works? Sometimes I get that when trying to open Steam like right after closing another non-Steam game. If I just wait like five seconds, then it seems all good. Also an admin account on my own PC from what I'm aware of
I followed your steps but still no luck accessing Maxthon 5 using may company laptop. Is there other way to access the file using company laptop?
Didn't work for me.
Full control, Modify, Read and execute, Read Write etc where already ticked under User, SYSTEM, Adminstrators etc.
The file (ProduKey.exe) was ok with Windows 7 but not with Windows 10.
I got it to work with Windows 10 by:
Click on Notifications at the right of the taskbar and click on All Settings.
Click on Update & Security.
Click on Windows Security.
Click on App & browser control.
Click on Reputation-based protection settings. (Blue text link)
Under 'Potentially unwanted app blocking' untick 'Block apps' and turn off the On/Off icon above.
Hope this helps others.
worked for me!! thanks a lot!
Omgg thank you so much it really works on my laptop Im watching RUclips for 3 hours and I found this comment and it helps me omg thank you so much😭😭😭thank you so much I waited for 3 hours for this❤❤

If it doesn't work, Specifically in Windows 10 go to *windows security-> app and browser control* and there you will find the blocked ones, *allow* from there....

@@erfGD bruh THANK YOU so much I've lost hope in this app until I saw your comment
@@SkillerX You're welcome!
@@erfGD where is the program bro? cant see it.
I tried this since my roblox will not load anymore it keeps saying “access is denied”
still isn’t working. Has that happened to anyone else and does someone know how to fix it?
I Already had them denied and the same error apeared. Can i try something else to fix this problem?
2:04 why is special permissions grey? I can’t allow it
Will this let the person know that someone has accesed their pc? If they have provided the email in security ?
my app doesnt have Security on Properties it only have General Compatibility and Details, please teach me how
the thing is i cant open the app on other windows accounts. even when i enable full control. it only works on 1 account. i need help.
for my file it doesn't have the security tab it only has 4 tabs but oyurs has like 10 tabs so wtf? mine is a .exe file
Just like Eddy111 said, Its not what the guy in the video said Its the windows defender. The file youre attempting to access may be quarantined or blocked especially if before you tried to open it said "Windows protected your device"
can you help me step by step
@@SmokeyReptile did u got the solution

One Of My Hatest Errors Ever... I Downloaded A Steam Key Generator From Someone Steam Cracker Which I Think Most Popular Cracked Application. Clicking The Exe File Shows This Error I've Tried All Fixes For That But 0% No Fix. My Avast Turns To Be Useless Because It's Pranking Me A Free Premium Antivirus. So I Deleted It.
NOW I DIDN'T FUCKING VISIT THE STEAM IN THIS YEAR BECAUSE THERE WAS A FREE GIVEAWAY FROM LEFT 4 DEAD 2!!! DAMN I SHOULD CHECK IF L4D2 BECOMES FREE AGAIN IN CHRISTMAS 2020... GODAMMIT!!!
its not work on mine...please help...
i upgraded to windows 11 and i miss the win10 error sounds.
i fugured out that mcAffee was limiting me so i uninstalled and i was able to open the apps like normal
Thank you so much. I already had all the permissions but still wasn't able to access the file. So, what I did was deny all permission, and uncheck them after applying the denial (i did that for all users just in case).
