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!

    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!

  • 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:

    Windows Firewall has blocked some features of this program. Windows firewall prevents this program accepts connections to other networks. If you unblock this program you will also unlock other networks to connect.

    Good question.  But you should ask 3cx first.  If you have this problem, others running Vista probably do as well.

  • Cannot change the window's registry. Log into Windows as a system administrator to unlock the software"

    Impossible to unblock a program, the master genealogist, get the message 'cannot modify the window registry. Sign in to Windows as a system administrator to unlock the software". I am the administrator.

    The program tries to modify an entry in the registry and something he keeps.  The registry is huge, and unless you know exactly what entry does not cooperate, your best approach would be to restore the registry to a point to where he was working.  You can do this by performing a "system restore."

  • Unlocking and opening ports?

    On the installation of google earth, Windows Firewall has blocked some features of the program.  Then it asks me if I want to unblock this program.  It offers assistance to understand the risks if you unblock.  But the answers speak "what happens if you open a port" and he speaks of "create an exception or open a port.   But it does not mention what happens if I select "unblock this program."  Like is it the same as opening a port?  or unlock open all ports?   or what?

    No explanation of any person who knows how to keep consistent terminology (other than MS Windows 'staff') will be appreciated.

    If you select unlock Google earth creates two inbound firewall rules.
    The two rules are called Google Earth
    Both allow to program C:\program files\google\google earth\client\googleearth.exe
    Both allow to any port and an address
    A rule is used in TCP protocol
    The other rule allow the UDP protocol

    Close Safari and other applications you have open.

    If you can - take your mac offline drive - then open activity monitor and the disk activity - MDS and MDWORKER, jobs of the referee - tab and disk read/write activity - means that your mac can still be in the cleanup process after the update.

    When it is connected to the internet, it can make downloads of software - boring when you don't know its happening.

    As your system is not slow not - her very busy - and may not give you as much attention as you want.

  • Anyone else having programs crash after installation of Sierra?

    I just installed Sierra on an iMac mid-2012. A lot of programs crash after installing Sierra, of Apple's native applications. Anyone else having similar problems? All possible solutions?

    Thank you

    Hi guitarno,

    Thanks for the upgrade of your iMac to macOS Sierra! I understand that your Mac works more slowly as it did before the upgrade. You can try to start up your Mac in Mode without failure.

    What is safe mode?

    Safe mode (sometimes called secure boot) is a way to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks and prevents certain software from loading automatically or opening. From your Mac in safe mode does the following:
    Check your startup disk and attempts to fix problems if necessary directory
    Loads needed kernel extensions only
    Prevents elements start and the login items open automatically
    Disables the user installed fonts
    Delete font caches, hiding the kernel and other files of the system cache
    Together, these changes can help resolve or isolate issues related to your startup disk.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    After successfully started upward in safe mode, check to see if you have any login or startup items. Here are the apps that run as soon as you turn on your Mac and continue to run in the background that can slow down the performance of your Mac.

    macOS Sierra: If you think you have incompatible connection points

    You can also check that your Mac has enough disk space for the smooth Sierra BONES. Under macOS Sierra, it's easier than ever to free disk space! Take a look at this link. Information System for Mac: optimization of the storage on your Mac

    Once these tasks are completed, restart your Mac normally and then test the performance. I'm sure you'll see a difference. Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question.

    Good day.
