FIX This App Has Been Blocked for Your Protection MMC.exe
8Yes, it is a good thing that Windows 10 has security features like Defender SmartScreen built in, but sometimes they get in the way. You really want to install this app — you know there's nothing wrong with it — but you're locked out.
Windows Defender SmartScreen acts as a sort of guard dog while you use Windows 10. It will block you from opening some apps if they come from an unknown place or are created by an unknown publisher. While these steps will get you around the Windows 10 block, you should use them with care. Some apps really are harmful and really will get you in a mess. Only go around the Windows 10 app block if you know for sure that the file is safe.

Many users have noticed that when running or installing some programs in Windows 10, “This app has been blocked for your protection” error pops up and prevents normal running or installing the applications. Interestingly, the problem occurs not only with third-party exe or msi files, but also with standard Microsoft msc snap-ins, launched via mmc.exe. Thus, even a user with local administrator privileges cannot run or install such applications.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, and Windows 10 operating systems (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Huawei and Samsung.
