Hi - I'm new to this site and nowhere near a computer expert, but have a problem I hope someone can explain is simple terms. I have 2 windows 10 machines both running essentially the same software. All programs were working fine....until today. My Broderbund Calendar Creator will not open. I should say the before today whenever I tried to open this program I always got a message asking if I wanted to allow this App from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device. I'd click "yes" and the program would open and run. Starting today if I try to open the program I get the " This App has been blocked by your System Administrator" message and can not start the program. And it's that way on both of my computers. Does anyone know what happened and how I can fix it?
Thanks to all that tried to help but it seems we are kicking a dead horse. On an impulse, I googled Broderbund (the manufacturer of Calendar Creator v 12.1 - now called Encore) and was advised that as of the latest Windows 10 update, version 12.1 is no longer supported. Guess that explains the problem.
But they do have version 12.2 (for a slight fee) that they say will work with Windows 10. I got a copy and installed it. It works!

Try running it as administrator - right click on the program and choose 'run as administrator'.
sorry...tried that and the program is still blocked. I should also say that before today, every time I opened that program I'd get a message asking if I wanted to allow the program to make changes to this device. When I answered yes, the program would open and run. I'm not aware of any changes I made to either machine and my App and browser control is set to "Warn"
People get those messages when I block their apps using GPO too.
What does your IT department say?
Try logging in as a different user and doing the same thing. If you are able to run the application as another administrator it's possible that the "Smart Screen" is not responding to a call for that application and you may just need to make yourself a new profile. (This is unfortunately the only way I have been able to resolve the issue of a broken Smart Screen.)

Interesting: I ran into this exact issue with a different software called Classic Shell. Development of this windows start button enhancement ended in 2017. Reading in the forums it said uninstall and reinstall the app.
Sure enough... This worked!
Try this for your application - it may work
I ran across this issue couple of days ago on Windows 10 OS
the following Registry HACK will solve your problem
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "EnableLUA"=dword:00000000

I had this problem after updating to V. 2004 on our public library computers. I had to temporarily change permissions in the active directory as we do not allow access to the task manager. On the Task Manager Start up tab I disabled OneDrive and Skype, returned permissions to the proper folder and rebooted. This works every time for me.
The registry hack worked for me. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "EnableLUA"=dword:00000000
