Windows 11 issue - installing a program
|
OZ0J Joe
Hi
On a brand-new PC with a brand-new Windows 11 (updated), I got the message, that some om the programs needed an APP (!!) to be installed. And no app was found in my Windows 11 to the program.
I decided to find the solution and here it is:
Right click on the EXE file (installation file) Choose “show more properties” = Shift+F10 or something like that (my Windows is in Danish language) Right click on “properties” in the bottom. Remove the mark in “block” in the bottom og set a mark in “unblock” (again my Windows is in Danish language)
A guide that shows you how to do can be found at https://thegeekpage.com/unblock-a-file-blocked-by-windows-10/
So far, I had issues with:
K3 Utility software DX4WIN (It could be the updater program to version 8) Win-Test
This is only for your information if you have some issues with some on the HAM related software.
73, Joe, OZ0J |

This is a common issue with some browsers, Windows will set "Block" execution for all .EXE files that are downloaded. It may even set it for some other file formats.
I guess they call this a security feature, but unless you remember to unblock a downloaded file, it just will not run. This blocking of .EXE files also happened with Win7 and my Firefox browser. 73 Steve |
