I cannot open MYOB, a message comes up that the app has been blocked for my protection. It says to contact the administrator. All help suggestions show sections that do not show up on my control panel
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
You remember an annoying dialog box always pops up when you run MYOB? For whatever reason, Windows 10 felt your pain and decided to block it... Anyway, once we figure out what mechanism Windows 10 uses to block it, the rest is not so hard.
Just follow the steps in this page and MYOB will run again, without the annoying dialog box.

OMG that was intense. I am NOT super Techy and it took me ages to work out where to find the .exe file etc, but finally got it all sorted. THANK YOU so much!!!!
Thank you Leah, worked a treat :-)
Thank you. This was an easy fix, and worked for me. Whew!!
this works for me
Thanks a lot
Not so sure if this is a MYOB created issue. My case happened after a computer restart, this was after a prompted message for a software update from microsoft.
MYOB so far never updates software remotely for the past decade I have been using it. I am using AVG antivirus and I think antivirus software has nothing to do with this. The fix I used was to change the registry permission to the .EXE file by downloading a windows application file.
Past messages I have found all point to microsoft updates which banned applications with outdated certificates even though they are working fine a while ago.
