How do you unblock a program seeking permission?

I acciedently blocked sims3 when he solicited permission to update? I think and then I pressed the block. How to unlock? Help, please.

It depends on what program he blocked.  If you just answered to a guest of VistaUAC with a 'Cancel' and then sims3will not be blocked, because UAC does not have a 'memory', so you can just run sims3, once again.  If your Firewall blocked then it probably has a learning mode and will continue the block until turn you the tide in the firewall settings by adding it to "Exclusions".  However, the exact method to remove the "block" depends on which firewall you have.  If it has been blocked by Windows Defender then instructions on how to run again is in this Microsoft KnowledgeBase Article:

    If SFC could not fix something, then run the new command to see if it can be able to next time. Sometimes, it can take by running the sfc/scannow command 3 times restart the PC after each time completely fix everything what he is capable of.

    If this isn't the case, then run Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair any corruption component store, restart the PC later and try the sfc/scannow command.

    If still no, then try using ONE OPTION above to run the command sfc/scannow at the start

    If still no, then you could do a Refresh of Windows 8, or run a System Restore using a restore point dated before the wrong file occurred to fix. You may need to repeat doing a restore of the system until you find a restore point that is older that may work.

    If not yet, then you can use the steps in the TIP box in the section THREE OPTION to manually replace the files SFC could not fix.

    Refresh your PC goes like this:

    • The PC starts in Windows RE (Recovery Eenvironment).
    • Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
    • Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
    • Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.
    • The PC reboots into the newly installed copy of Windows.

    "When you reboot your PC, the drive will be completely reset and all your applications and your files will be removed it." Windows 8 will be reinstalled, and you need to change any settings, and then reinstall all the apps you want to come back after the reset. If you know if all the files you don't want to lose, then you must back up these files before you start resetting.

  • How do I unblock a program?

    I have accidentally block a 'game' on my laptop called IMVU. I can't understand how to unlock, because now it won't let me connect to it. How do I unlock? Thank you.

    Hi Sammiixx3,

    Welcome to Microsoft answers forums!

    a. how exactly did block the game?

    (b) is blocked at the start of the game?

    c. do you receive specific messages when you start the game?

    d. What firewall program do you use?

    You can use firewall settings to block a program. Therefore, check if the game is blocked by windows defender or any third-party firewall program.

    Method 1: Run the blocked program or the blocked service

    After Windows Vista starts, you can run programs blocked or blocked services by following these steps:

    1. click on the blocked startup programs in the notification area icon.

    2. tap on the blocked programand then click the program or service in the list that you want to start. Collapse this includes this image

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

    Method 2: Disable the blocked program or the blocked service

    To disable a program or a service during the Windows Vista startup process, follow these steps:

    1. click on the blocked startup programs in the notification area icon.

    2. click on show or remove blocked startup programs. This starts Software Explorer in Windows Defender.

    3. Locate and then click to select the startup program or the boot service that is in Software Explorer.

    4. click on disable, and then click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

  • How do you clear a program 'open with' in Windows XP?

    I got a file with a uknown origin program to open it.  I selected a program from the list of options to open it with my computer and discovered that it was evil and that I would have kept the original status of 'unknown '.  How to restore the program return to be a program of unknown file?

    File associations generally associate the file extension with a program (the part of a filename after the last period).  To remove an association:

    • Double-click any file to open an Explorer window
    • Select Tools-> Folder Options
    • Click on the tab "File Types".
    • Find the extension in the list window that corresponds to the extension of your file.
    • Click to select
    • Click on the button 'delete '.
    • "OK" your way out

  • Unblock a program

    I clicked 'block this program' when Spotify has attempted to connect to the internet and it has now stopped working Spotify. How do I unblock a program?  Thank you!

    Hi, Agathe,.

    Assuming that it is blocked by Windows Firewall, go to control panel / Security Center or Action Center / Windows Firewall / Exceptions.  You will probably find Spotify here but not controlled.  Check it out to allow the exception (avoid Notepad) and save the changes and leave the firewall.  If she is not there, add it as an exception and it is checked and save the changes and exit the firewall.  Reset.  If this is how you blocked, it should work now.

    You cannot use MSE to do this, so MSE is not the answer to this problem.

    If you have a different security program or another firewall, then the block could come to them if that is how you did (assuming that you are unsure that you used to do) and you need to contact technical support for these programs know how to cancel it as it varies widely in the product.  But the process I described above is probably similar to how others would work (if you just want to check it out for yourself first), if you probably start by opening this program and then how to get to controls the changes would vary too much to help further.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
