This app has been blocked for your protection???

Oh boy - what now!

I seemingly have lost my audio on this W10PC (HP Pavilion). I thought
to check and maybe reload my audio driver and have discovered no
drivers wll install now - I get the followint stop:

This app has been blocked for your protection.
An administrator has blocked you from running this app.

How can I disable this block?

Whoever has the administrator's account should be able to fix that.

Don't use your normal User account to install the driver. Install
it as the Administrator. See if that works.

Just returned from buying out the grocery store.
I tried running the .exe driver file as administrator, and got the
message. I am only user, and am administrator.

Go back into Device Manager and uninstall the old driver and reboot and then
try installing it again.
I had a similar problem on a Dell laptop that lost its sound. Ended up doing
the uninstall first, rebooting and then an install of the drivers.
I had tried reinstalling, but it would not work,

I inherited this PC, with a C:\folder containing drivers, none of
which are identified beyond a alpha-digital name. So I know not which
does what. Except they all now will not run, as I said.
I tried finding a new set of drivers for this PC on HP's support site
- it said it could not find this Pavillion P6-2026 PC. Maybe because
it is obsolete?

BTW device manager shows no problems. The PC has W10 on it, and I
used it successfully for three months now. It still runs fine, except
suddenly I have no audio. I did.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Device Manager also showed no problem when I had that sound problem. I had
to 'uninstall' the sound drive , reboot and install the driver again.
Your sound 'card' is an "Integrated Realtek ALC656 Audio"
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/p...ocId=c03066698
Look at this link also: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
I suppose you could try creating a system restore point and then uninstall
the sound driver and see if it gets reinstalled automatically upon reboot.
If not you could use that restore point to put the bad one back.
Also you could buy a low cost sound card and use that if you can't get the
integrated one to work.

Device manager did the same thing on that laptop
Try this link for drivers:
http://www.hp-drivers-download.com/h...026-desktop-pc
Remember, you will probably have to uninstall the old audio drivers, reboot
and then install the 'new' driver.

Make sure the driver has come from a valid source.

One web page claims this message comes from SmartScreen.

The article here recommends starting an Administrator command
prompt window and running the executable that does the
install from there.

https://www.howtogeek.com/230063/how...in-windows-10/

I'm really surprised there is differentiated behavior here,
and that doing it that way is somehow different/better. But
it's worth a try.

The other suggestion in the article, is this one. To enable
the hidden administrator account, and do if from there. There's
no particular reason for this to work any better.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/windows-10-...-error-1516240

I suspect there are other reasons to be blocked, but
then the error dialog would be different.

If I acquired a used computer, no matter who previously owned it, the
first thing I would do with it would be to reinstall the operating
system cleanly. You have no idea how the computer has been maintained,
what has been installed incorrectly, what is missing, what viruses and
spyware there may be, etc. I wouldn't want to live with somebody
else's mistakes and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc., and I
wouldn't recommend that anyone else do so either.

Your choice of course, but in my view, you're playing with fire if you
don't reinstall Windows cleanly.

Have you tried running an up to date virus scan?
Try the free SuperAntiSpyware and run a scan.

What's the more complete description of "not run"?
Have you tried copying them all to a directory for which you
are sure you have permission and run them as administrator?
Might also be useful to try to run them in compatibility mode.
Depends on that description of "not run".

That's a message from UAC.
Can't you just disable UAC?
I disable UAC first thing, so I've never seen any of those messages.
