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

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Security and privacy

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.

    I was able to get V18.5 of Myob working after windows completed update recently with the Regedit workaround:

    Open Regedit as administrator

    Expand Local Machine Directory

    Expand Software Directory 

    Expand Microsoft Directory

    Scroll down and expand Windows Directory

    Expand CurrentVerison directory

    Expand Policies

    Click on System

    Open up EnableLUA

    Change Value Data from 1 to 0 

    Restart your machine then open up MYOB. 

    Hope this helps :)

    My information is that my MYOB Vers 18 was affected in the same way (blocked my Administrator).

    I was only able to resolve the issue by rolling back my windows installation to 28 Feb 2020 and pausing automatic Windows updates.

    Strangely, when again allowing updates and seeing the issue reappear, no offending update version was able to displayed on update history, so I am not able to undo any particular update.

    Thus my advice is to contact Microsoft for a remedy, but meanwhile to ;

    1. disconnect the internet,
    2. restore your windows to a date before 1Mar2020,
    3. select update pause,
    4. reconnect internet.
