Have you noticed that every time you launch applications downloaded from the Internet, a security warning appears. Which says that the publisher cannot be verified. This warning annoys me pretty much and I decided to turn it off once and for all, so that my eyes would not be an eyesore. If you need to disable this window, then read on.

Actually, the security system window, which we will now successfully disable, looks like this:

I found a screenshot on the Internet, since I already turned it off on my PC and did not have time to take a screenshot. In general, more to the point ...

How to turn off the security warning in Windows 7.

Let's go to " Control panel"and open" Browser Property"A window will open in front of you, in which we are interested in the "Advanced" tab

Uncheck " Signature verification for downloaded programs” and for the item “ Allow programs to run or install...” on the contrary, check the box.

As shown in the screenshot below.

Now it remains to make some changes to the Registry. To do this, create a regular "*.txt" file and copy the following lines into it.

"DefaultFileTypeRisk"=dword:00006152 "HideZoneInfoOnProperties"=dword:00000001 "SaveZoneInformation"=dword:00000002 "LowRiskFileTypes"=.zip;.rar;.nfo;.txt;.exe;.bat;.com;.cmd; .reg;.msi;.htm;.html;.gif;.bmp;.jpg;.avi;.mpg;.mpeg;.mov;.mp3;.m3u;.wav;"

Each user in windows 7, downloading applications from the Internet, more than once witnessed a picture pop up in front of him, in the form of a warning window, they say he did not download from there, and the publisher is unknown to our database. It seems to be even a useful thing, however, if you are not a secretary sitting at a computer for a couple of hours in the office, but an advanced user, or even a programmer, then this window has probably annoyed your eyes more than once. So how do you disable publisher verification?

Instructions for dummies how to remove the publisher verification window

Removing a window is not as difficult as you might think. As you should be well aware, the "Unable to verify the publisher" window looks like this:

1. First, we need to go to the "Control Panel", there we look for the "Internet Options" section, click on the appropriate icon, and select the "Advanced" section in the window that opens.

2. Remove the checkmark from "Check signatures for downloadable programs", and then find the section "Allow to execute and install programs ..." and vice versa activate it.
You can see how this window should look in the end, after all the machinations, just below!

3. Next, we need to correct the Registry itself so that various warnings do not bother us at all, not only with exe files but also with other formats. Create Text Document under the name "*.txt" and write in it the entire script that is shown in the picture below:


4. Next, when saving the file, we specify not the text extension, but the “.reg” extension, which will allow us to transfer it to the register section. You will immediately get a warning window where you will have to confirm your choice of change system registry. Thus, you sort of exclude from the “list” of formats that need to be checked for the presence of a license, all the most popular types of files for which a notification will pop up!

5. Here you can already finish, the only thing that you will need to restart your PC, so that everything that you have changed will take effect, and you will no longer be annoyed by the annoying warning window!

important to mention: you can do a similar algorithm of actions in order to get rid of the windows 10 publisher check, without any changes. If even after that you continue to see this window, check the system for recent rollbacks, as well as your account for root rights. Also, check if you copied the text from the picture above correctly.

Conclusion

So, that's all, now you know how to easily and without problems remove an eyesoreing sign by going to just a couple of control panel elements and changing windows registry. This window will never interfere with you again!

There are many in Windows various systems security. One of these is a warning about the launch of programs downloaded via the Internet or over a network. If you receive a message before starting the program:" Unable to verify publisher. Are you sure you want to run this program?"

then, to disable it, you need to do the following:

1. First you need to launch the "Local Group Policy Editor". To do this, click the "Start" button, enter gpedit.msc in the "Start Search" box, and then press Enter.

2. Go to "User Configuration" > "Administrative Templates" > " Windows Components" > "Attachment Manager"

3. Open the option "Default risk for attachments" and set its value to "Enable" and click "OK"

4. Open the "Low risk file type exclusion list" option, change its value to "Enable", and below in the options specify the file extensions for which you want to disable publisher verification.

When you run some programs on Windows 10, you may encounter a User Account Control message: This app has been blocked for protection. An administrator has blocked this application from running. For more information, contact your administrator. At the same time, the error may appear in cases where you are the only administrator on the computer, and User Account Control is disabled (in any case, with).

There are several ways to run a program for which you see a message that "The administrator has blocked this application from running."

Using the command line

The safest way (not opening "holes" for the future) is to run problematic program from command line running as administrator. The procedure will be as follows:

Using the built-in administrator account in Windows 10

This way to fix the problem is only suitable for an installer that has problems starting up (because every time you turn on and off the built-in account administrator - not convenient, but keeping it always on and switching to run the program is not the best option).

This can be done with a small free application File unsigner:

On this digital signature the application will be removed and it will start without administrator block messages (but sometimes with a warning from SmartScreen).

That seems to be all the ways I can suggest. If something does not work, ask questions in the comments, I will try to help.

On Windows, when you try to open or run an exe, msi, bat, cmd (and other file types) executable file with local disk or a network folder, you may receive a warning “ Open File - Security Warning”(Open file - Security Warning). To continue the execution of the program, the user must manually confirm the launch of such a file by pressing the button “ Run” (Run). This Windows security warning usually appears when you run an application installation file downloaded from the Internet or an executable file that is located in a shared network folder on server.

Such Windows setup is designed to protect your computer from running potentially dangerous executable files that you have downloaded from the Internet or other untrusted sources and are trying to run. This feature when launching files is present in both Windows 7 and Windows 10.

In some cases, when the launch / installation of such software is carried out in background through scheduler scripts, group policies, SCCM jobs, etc. this can cause problems because the warning window is not displayed in the user's session. Accordingly, installation or launch of such an application from a script becomes impossible.

Recall what the warning window looks like. For example, when opening a file from a network directory, the Windows Security Warning window looks like this:

Unable to verify publisher. Are you sure you want to run this file?

Open File - Security Warning

The Publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?

When running a file downloaded from the Internet from a local drive (or a network directory mounted via net use), the warning text is slightly different:

Open File - Security Warning

Do you want to run this file?

Open File - Security Warning

Run this file?

Files from the Internet can be useful, but this type of file can damage your computer. Only run programs from a trusted publisher.

Let's try to figure it out how to remove security warning when running executables or installation files in Windows 7 and Windows 10 (the instruction is also suitable for all other Microsoft operating systems, starting with Windows XP).

Important. Disabling this window with a Windows security warning is not recommended in most cases, as it reduces the level of computer protection and increases the risk of user infection of the system.

We offer several options to disable the security warning window. Choose the appropriate method depending on the required solution (in some cases, the proposed solutions have to be combined).

Disable the warning window when launching a file downloaded from the Internet

Executable files downloaded from the Internet are automatically marked as potentially dangerous (downloaded from an unsafe source). This functionality is implemented through alternative NTFS file streams. To simplify, we will assume that this is a special file label that is automatically assigned to a file downloaded from the network (). To remove this label, you need to unlock this application. For this:

Save the change by clicking the Ok button. Once the file has been unlocked, it will run without a warning window (NTFS tag will be removed).

Trick. To prevent the label from being automatically assigned to files that you download from the Internet through a browser, you can save the downloaded files to a disk formatted in the FAT32 or . On these file systems alternate NTFS streams don't work.

The label of the alternative NTFS stream Zone.Identifier can be reset using the following two commands (a new file will be created):
move oldName.exe > newName
type newName > oldName.exe
Or utilities
streams.exe
If you want to disable this warning only for files downloaded using a browser, then you can disable saving the Zone.Identifier attribute when downloading files directly in the browser:
For Google Chrome and IE need to create a registry key like this
“SaveZoneInformation”=dword:00000001
And for Mozilla Firefox on the settings page about:config change browser.download.saveZoneInformation value to false.

Security warning when running applications from a network directory

This option typically occurs with corporate users who work on an organization's network. A warning window may appear when starting the program from a shared network directory (network shares) via a UNC path. In this case, the easiest way is in the browser settings Internet Explorer add the name and/or ip address of the server where the executable file is stored to the zone Local intranet. This will indicate that this resource is trusted. For this:

You can add addresses of network directories and servers to the Local Intranet zone using Group Policy (GPO). Open the local (gpedit.msc) or domain (gpmc.msc) policy editor. Go to Compute Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Internet Control Panel -> Security Page (Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Browser Control Panel -> Security Tab ). Enable policy Site to Zone Assignment List(List of website security zone assignments). In the policy settings, you need to specify a list of trusted servers in the format:

• Server name (as file://server_name, \\server_name, server_name, or IP)
• Zone number (1 - For local intranet)

Save the changes to the policy and update it on the client (gpupdate /focre). The warning when opening executable files from specified network directories should stop appearing.

In addition, the following settings can be enabled in group policies under User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Internet Control Panel -> Security Page (User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Browser control panel -> Security tab). This is the best option for domain users:

• Intranet Sites: Include all local (intranet) sites not listed in other zones
• Intranet Sites: Include all network paths (UNCs)
• Enable automatic intranet detection

Disabling warning for certain file types via GPO

In some cases, it is advisable to disable the warning for certain types (extensions) of files through group policies. Although, of course, this is not very safe, because. the user can run something malicious without looking.

To do this, in the GPO editor, go to the section user Configuration-> administrative Templates-> Windows Components-> attachment manager(User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> ComponentsWindows-> Attachment manager).

• Enable policy Do not store information about the zone of origin of attachments(Do not preserve zone information in file attachments). All executable files downloaded from the Internet will run without confirmation on all computers.
• Enable policy Include list for low-risk file types(Inclusion list for low file types), specify in its settings a list of file extensions for which you want to disable the appearance of a window with a Windows security warning, for example: .exe; .vbs; .msi. The system will ignore labels on files with this extension and run them without confirmation.

  Note. In this case, these file extensions are added to the LowRiskFileTypes registry value: "LowRiskFileTypes"=".exe;.vbs;.msi;.bat;"

Save the policy and apply it to clients by running gpupdate /force on them.

After that, the warning should stop appearing when opening files with the specified extensions with any information in the Zone.Identifier attribute.

You can also allow the launch of any files from the Internet in the browser settings for the Internet zone (Security - .Internet -> Other -> Miscellaneous -> Starting programs and unsafe files), but this is extremely risky.
