Is VIPRE or Windows blocking it? In any case, I recommend submitting it as a false positive to the VIPRE folks:<br />

So what did you do to run it? Stop vipre? Then please acknowledge that it was Joe, who recommended that, first (I didn't see his comment while writing).

Some software that I have is getting a false positive of &quot;virus or unwanted software&quot;<br />
<br />
When I try to run the software, Windows gives me an error: &quot;software did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.&quot;<br />
<br />
How can I force Windows to run the software anyway?<br />

P.S. Windows defender is OFF. I am using VIPRE as my antivirus software.

how to force an exe file to run on Windows 10 when it's getting blocked

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
