Windows 10 blocking HP driver install DVD

Windows 10 says "administrator blocked this..." when I try to launch a HP Driver DVD.  It won't let the Auto setup run.  How do I make it let the driver DVD install the HP drivers I need?

You don't.

If you're running windows 10, I'd use windows update to install the drivers, alternatively launch devmgmt.msc and then update the drivers directly and point them to the .ini file associated with it, that'll get around the windows 10 block as long as the drivers are signed.

If you want to run unsigned drivers, follow this

If you run Windows explorer (Win key + E key) and browse to the DVD drive, you can see the .exe file for launching the driver.

Is it not possible to run the DVD installer?  I am new to Windows 10.  I even tried right clicking and choosing "Run as Administrator" and it blocked that the same way.

Seems odd that I cannot run a DVD installer. This is the DVD HP sent me with the drivers.

As for downloading them, I was on the HP site and couldn't find them using the search feature on their site. I was searching HP LaserJet Pro 1530 MFP driver.
