Keyboard Launchpad - An administrator has blocked you from running this app

October 19, 2018 1:15:18 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi,

I cannot install Keyboard Launchpad. It says "An administrator has blocked you from running this app". How do I get it to install?

I have a PC running Windows 10.

Thanks,

Paolo

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. I believe that is more on Windows Administration problem. You can try this link and try some of the solutions suggested there. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/534bead7-f6e7-4575-9074-fbbf072b6770/quotan-administrator-has-blocked-you-from-running-this-appquot?forum=win10itproapps

One of the solution I get from there is this one which simple enough to try

Hi,

i solved this problem by running powershell as administrator and then started the program from it.

Try it and let us know if you still need assistance.

Thank you.

I still can't make it run on Windows 10. But I was able to install it on my Windows 7 desktop. 

However, I couldn't find where to add the registration code. Where can I add the registration code? 

I also wanted to verify if I downloaded the right software. The link on the email sent to me had a page not found error.

I downloaded my copy from - https://keyboard-launchpad.en.softonic.com/download

Thanks,

Paolo

Sorry, nevermind. I just saw that there is a link on "My Downloads". I installed that one and it worked.

Well, I ran into the same problem, when I tried to install the trial version of Keyboard Launchpad: "An administrator has blocked you from running this app".

Following the advices in above given links would mean to circumvent all security measures and install this software despite this stark warning! I am hesitant to do this, because Stardock "outsourced" this download to a third party site, out of their control (download.cnet.com). How can I be sure, there is no malware/virus/whatsover in that download?

If you are getting it from us, or CNet, its fine...

Still unable to install software as Windows 10 is blocking it.

In my case starting this software via an elevated DOS-prompt did the trick. Good luck!
