Try this. 

https://www.howtogeek.com/75356/how-to-turn-off-or-disable-the-smartscreen-filter-in-windows-8/

And this too. 

Oh and Check this too

https://www.greytrix.com/blogs/sageaccpacerp/2013/02/20/windows-has-blocked-this-software-because-it-cant-verify-the-publisher-error-in-sage-300-erp/

Let me know if it worked.

This is not UAC. UAC is for elevating a task for Administrator. Keep that on.

 

What you are seeing is Smart Filter security feature. Microsoft has blocked the digital signature of the publisher. This is usually because the digital signature was compromised and a new one was made for the original publisher. This happens when the digital signature leaks out from the company and is used by someone else.

 

This happens when:

• A pirated software which contain modified code re-digital signatured with a leaked digital signature they managed to acquire.
• A software that was modified and re-signatured it. Probably viruses was injected or malware.

In your case, I tried on my side, and it works perfectly fine when I downloaded and installed the software.

Be SURE to download only from the official website:

https://watchbeam.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002311011-Streaming-with-Streamlabs-OBS

My guess, is that you got it somewhere else and wasn't genuine.

SmartScreen can interfere with legitimate files, too. If you know that the file is good and want to install it, you can get rid of the message by disabling the SmartScreen filter.

 

Your Windows account might need administrator status to do these changes, I'm not sure.

 

To disable SmartScreen:

 

Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Security -> App & browser control

 

In the window that opens up, there are 3 items that can have their tick-boxes changed to Off to disable SmartScreen for each of them:

 

Check apps and files

SmartScreen for Microsoft Edge

SmartScreen for Microsoft Store apps

 

The one that is bothering you regarding the OP is the "Check apps and files" setting. Set that one to Off.

 

 

 

To disable UAC:

 

1. Open the start menu and type "user account control"

2. Click on the search result titled "Change User Account Control Settings"

3. Slide the bar to the bottom where it says "Never notify" and then press OK

4. Confirm any prompt that appears

 

 

Or, you can open Control Panel -> Security and Maintenance -> Change User Account Control Settings

 

Or, you might have to follow these instructions depending on how you have the layout of your Control Panel set:

those both are off UAC and SmartScreen both off in a manual way.. Still can't install.. Had it installed bf but wasn't able to launch so tried to reinstall but cant.. bf obs was working just fine.. Pic shows that smart screen all 3 sections off.

[Delicieuxz]

I don't know what the Windows security message in the OP say, but maybe it's being caused by Windows Defender. You could try disabling Windows Defender in the group policy editor.

[LeapingRiolu]

Its kinda stupid that they dont give you an option to ignore the warning. Ive followed all these steps and nothing works. I hear you can open the built in admin account, but i cant even find a working way to do that that wont cost me hundreds.

Is your account on the PC not an administrator account (I mean a regular administrator account and not the super administrator account)? Asking because I'd expect after disabling UAC, SmartScreen, and Windows Defender, that Windows wouldn't deny you the ability to install anything.

I find it curious that both of you are being blocked from installing anything after changing the settings mentioned in this thread. I have never encountered any Windows security messages after changing those things, and maybe a couple of other things.

 

Is maybe an anti-virus program forcing that message? You could try temporarily turning off you anti-virus, if you have one running.

 

 

If you need to use the super administrator account, then enable it like this, but be very careful that you do it correctly:

 

1. Press WIN+R to open the Run prompt, and type in lusrmgr.msc, then click OK.
2. In the Local User & Groups panel, click on Users in the left column to display a list of all the user accounts in Windows
3. In the middle panel, right-click the Administrator account and choose Rename to name it how you want your account to be named
4. Right-click the Administrator account and choose Properties
5. Make sure "User cannot change password" and "Account is disabled" are both unchecked, and that "Password never expires" is checked, and click OK to close the window
6. Right-click the Administrator account and choose "Set Password" to set the password for the account
7. Restart the computer to have the new account details take effect, then log into the super administrator account

 

After you've installed the software you want to install, you can do those steps in reverse to disable the super administrator account again.

 

You can follow this guide that accesses the super admin account a bit differently: https://www.wiknix.com/solved-this-app-has-been-blocked-for-your-protection/

I have to agree.

For me, I downloaded it from the official website (link previously provided form the top), and I was able to run the setup, install, and even run the program. I got no Windows warning of any kind (beside the setup asking for elevation permission which is normal).

Another idea, is that they used a system tweak utility, or executed registry changes, which played with the GPO related to this. Sadly I am not familiar to know which GPO related to this may have been changed.

I am actually more curious if they just create anther normal admin local account, go there and try and install it.

At least we will now if it is an account restriction that was set, or a system wide thing.

I'm having this exact issue today!

Trying to download Streamlabs OBS and Windows just won't let me install it

 

Tried the above solutions but to no avail.

 

Same error as original poster,

Downloaded from Streamlabs themselves

 

 

SmartScreen was on warn before but even with it off it doesn't let me proceed.

 

 

I've tried downloading via other browsers / different computer and used USB to bring the installer to this PC but nope.

I've tried making a brand new administrator account on this computer, nope.

I tried cmd.exe run as administrator > navigate to download, run via that, nope.

 

 

 

Tried renaming the install and running as administrator, nope.

 

So I think there is something very wrong with the current release of StreamLabs possibly? & something between the installer and Windows which just won't play ball.

 

[InfinityLoop]

Oh just away to try this....

 

[InfinityLoop]

What on earth!

Oh well, sorted!

2 hours of my life wasted :(

 

 

If you are trying to install Streamlabs OBS and get the blocked by administrator warning then do the following: can you move the installer to your c-drive directly and rename it to streamlabs+OBS+Setup+0.11.15 (leave .exe if you have enabled to show file extensions) then open command prompt (cmd.exe) as administrator and type or paste (by right-click) the following: c:\streamlabs+OBS+Setup+0.11.15.exe and hit enter. This is a known issue which the developers are investigating to resolve.

Ok for those who have the problem:

• Clear your web browser cache, and previous downloads of the programs.
• Clear your temp folder.
• Make sure your data and time is correct. Have it sync with Microsoft servers.
• Restart your PC.
• If you use something else beside Windows Defender for your anti-virus, disable it (or uninstall it)
• Download the program here: https://streamlabs.com/slobs/download
• and try and install it.

If you use something else than Windows Defender, please share what you use.

Workaround was

 

 

If you are trying to install Streamlabs OBS and get the blocked by administrator warning then do the following: can you move the installer to your c-drive directly and rename it to streamlabs+OBS+Setup+0.11.15 (leave .exe if you have enabled to show file extensions) then open command prompt (cmd.exe) as administrator and type or paste (by right-click) the following: c:\streamlabs+OBS+Setup+0.11.15.exe and hit enter. This is a known issue which the developers are investigating to resolve.

 

 

OBS themselves are releasing a fix soon.

Which account are you attempting to disable it from?

 

I was able to enable the super admin account and then later disable it again from my regular administrator account.
