There is a shield on the app icon on my computer, and the message "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" displays when I open the app

Problem

After the user installs an app on their computer, a shield appears on the app icon. When the user opens the app, the message "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" displays. This message appears each time the user opens the app, even when they click Yes.

Cause

When the system considers an app to be unsafe, it will provide this warning.

Solution

If you wish to remove the shield from the app icon, you can try to suspend the antivirus software process.

Disabling the antivirus program may make your computer vulnerable. Be careful when performing this operation.

Method 1:

Create a text file and copy and paste the following commands:

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons" /v 29 /d "%systemroot%\system32\imageres.dll,197" /t reg_sz /f

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons" /v 77 /d "%systemroot%\system32\imageres.dll,197" /t reg_sz /f

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe

attrib -s -r -h "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\iconcache.db"

del "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\iconcache.db" /f /q

Save the file in BAT format and run it as an administrator.

 

• Before modifying the registry, back up the registry data by referring to Backing up and restoring the registry data.
• Modifying the registry may cause system instability or security issues.

3. Click Security and Maintenance then select Change User Account Control Settings.

4. On the User Account Control Settings screen, drag the blue block to the bottom and click OK.

5. The message "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" will display in the User Account Control pop-up. Click Yes.

Method 2:

When the Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? pop-up is displayed, click Show more details, and select Choose when to be notified about changes to your computer to go to the User Account Control Settings screen. Drag the blue block to the bottom to the Never notify position, and click OK.
