Windows 10 now has made craze among all young generations for it's attractive user interface and speedy mode. Everyone is rushing to this new version of OS and suppose All of you have probably upgraded or updated your computer to this newer and latest version and being upset you have probably turn back to your previous version as as it creates many problem when you run any .exe files or program. I have a bitter experience on it while I upgraded my Windows to windows 10. Every time when I tried to install any program it showed me an error message saying " This app has been blocked for your protection" After googling and spending many valuable hours I found a solution that I have discussed in details in this post and please read this if you feel this kind of problem like me. But what about D-Link Modem? Every time when I try to run this app this shows me the above message. Finally I found two solution to this problems that I'm gonna tell you about this. One is Temporary solution and Other is Permanent . The choice is yours which you want to use. Ok let's start.
The cause of problem:
As far as I know Window 10 has a tight security that doesn't allow in no way to run any programs or softs whose data have been leaked or whose publisher is not trusted. A few days ago D-Link’s code signing keys were leaked. That's why Microsoft is blocking all software that uses the “leaked” data? In windows 10, Microsoft has created a built in Administrator Account in line with your own created User Account. You have to enable it to take permission from the " Administrator Account" by Microsoft. How to enable this? to know please read this. But you can solve this problem in an alternative way temporarily and permanenly. So let's start....
D-Lin Modem Installation Process:
It's very wise decision to install your D-Link Modem at first just after installing Windows 10 on PC from fresh CD/DVD. Because after installing motherboard driver, it will not let you install any .exe program soft come from un-trusted sources in this case it will display the following error message. But what will happen if you already have installed or updated/upgraded windows to windows 10 and have installed/updated your motherboard driver? In this case follow the following method-
