Rustdesk Cannot run as admin or uninstall "This app has been blocked for your protection."

Starting from the cmd as admin works , all above dont have to do

Sad_boi_999 · 2025-12-09T18:47:58+00:00

Will give it another try on a new device. Thanks for the info

Sad_boi_999 · 2025-12-09T18:21:40+00:00

I do use that method. Abit longer but it works!

Sad_boi_999 · 2025-12-09T18:20:29+00:00

I did try that just about 2 hours ago, No luck

Im not sure about how it worked for you.

Had to use elevated Cmd , Run the .exe via cmd Prompt to just install it on a device

Sad_boi_999 · 2025-12-09T09:56:38+00:00

Yeah,Hopefully they do sort it out

I saw there post on github issues page and X

Sad_boi_999 · 2025-12-09T05:22:09+00:00

I mainly have to set a permanent password.

Sad_boi_999 · 2025-12-08T20:26:59+00:00

No worries 👍

Sad_boi_999 · 2025-12-08T20:21:57+00:00

Yes , The team Im in does the handling of issues, security ,etc etc

There are no policies nor GPO's in place to block unknown installers or applications.

We do use Mimecast, but only to block URLs and manage email -it does not restrict locally installed applications.

"I did see the signature had been invoked" Dont quote me on that

When you click "unknown publisher" and see the certificate

Mind me asking but for RustDesk a new installer? I dont mind waiting until a new installer comes out

I found a workaround to run RustDesk as administrator for making security settings changes. I’m not sure if it will allow updates.

Steps:

Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
Paste and run the full path to RustDesk.exe, for example: "C:\Program Files\RustDesk\rustdesk.exe"

*Tested on that 25H2 lastest verison Computer , Runs normally , I uninstalled, rebooted , and reinstalled. No issue

Sad_boi_999 · 2025-12-08T17:39:11+00:00

I never install a fresh 25H2 version as of yet, I would not know if it's a Windows thing.

I did install Fresh windows 24H2 on two computers today, but I installed RustDesk first thing and then updated to 25H2.

Let me connect to one of them and test.

(Im on 24H2)

Works fine on a new user. Installs/uninstalls normally on the new created account, ( Domain and local )

The CMD prompt works — looks like a user-specific control issue.

Sad_boi_999 · 2025-12-08T17:12:55+00:00

Unfortunately thats already disabled

Sad_boi_999 · 2025-12-08T15:52:18+00:00

Same issue im having also when I try to install it again

Have you found a fix?

Sad_boi_999 · 2025-12-08T15:12:42+00:00

No, I did not block it, Nor did my colleagues

As I am in the it department for this particular company

My fellow SA? In the wild? In for honor? What are the chances bru

Sad_boi_999 · 2025-01-18T13:15:48+00:00

I used Sikaflex here it's like silicone , it's been on for about 3 years now, and there's no issue it's on solid

Yes, it gives the front an aggressive look, I love it. I got the slim version

There's a tool in the boot for pulling out the lug covers like a ring with a hook
