Fallout 4 unknown publisher

[Joe Hendry]

Every time i run fallout it asks about launching it from an unknown publisher. The only way i can run it is by compatibility testing. Even after that i cant play because it crashes every time i load my only save

I don't get it either, right clicking the fallout4.exe then setting "run as admin" is supposed to bypass the UAC message for that file. Try that now.

[Joe Hendry]

nope, still does it
im getting really frustrated

[Joe Hendry]

i didnt have this issue, until i reapplied thermal paste to my cpu, i really dont get it

Bunch of stuff here to try - https://www.windowsdigitals.com/how-to-allow-unknown-publisher-in-windows-10/#Method_2_Unblock_the_file_from_properties

Method 1: Run the app via Command Prompt
With Admin Rights

By running an app from command prompt, you can bypass the unknown publisher warning message. To run the app in CMD, follow the steps below.

On Windows search bar, search for “command prompt” or simply “cmd“. Right-click Command Prompt from the search result and then select “Run as administrator“.

Windows 10

In the elevated command prompt window, enter the full path of the program or application you want to run. Press “Enter” key to execute the command.

Unblock unknown publisher in Windows 10 using CMD

If you don’t know the full path of the application you want to run, right-click the shortcut icon of the app and select Properties. Copy the path from the “Target” field and paste it onto the command prompt to run it.


Method 2: Unblock the file from properties

Another method to run app from unknown publisher is by unblocking the file from the file properties. To do so, right-click on the file you want to run and select Properties.

Under the General tab, next to the option that reads “This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer”, check the “Unblock” checkbox.


Method 3: Remove the publisher from untrusted list in IE

This method only works for app from known publisher but still get blocked from running on Windows 11/10. If that particular publisher happens to be listed in the untrusted publisher list in Windows, the app will remain blocked. To unblock the app, you can remove its publisher from the untrusted list in the internet options via Internet Explorer (even if you don’t use Internet explorer, some internet options still affect how Windows works).

To do this, search for and open Internet Options via the Windows search bar.

Go to Content tab and click on Publishers under Certificates. In the “Untrusted Publisher” tab, look for and select the publisher of the app, and click on Remove to remove it from the untrusted list.
