an administrator has blocked you from running this app

[PietraSG]

I tried to run the device manager and I got the message that a manager blocked it for my protection.

of course I have a manager profile.

I really have no idea how this happened.

@PietraSG Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you are getting the message that the administrator has blocked.

Do not worry. I will try to fix the issue.

Try these steps below:

Right-click on the Windows logo and open Command Prompt (Admin).

Step 2:
Now type “net user administrator /active:yes” and press enter. You will see the successful message.

Step 3:
Now Sign Out. Then find the “Administrator” account on the bottom left.

Step 4:
Now click and sign in on Administrator account. It’s takes time to setting up apps.

Step 5:
Now find your Software or .exe that you want to install.

Step 6:
Voila! The error is gone. The software or .exe also available on your own Administrator account too, so don’t worry about it.

Step 7:
After installing your software, now sign out from Administrator account and sign-in again to your Original Account.

Step 8:
That’s it, now check out the software or app that was installed on “hidden Administrator” account.

Step 9:
Now it’s time to Disable Hidden Administrator Account. Open Command prompt (Admin) and type below command,

net user administrator /active:no

net user administrator active no
