TrustedInstaller?

1. Right click the exe. file - Properties.

2. Security - Advanced - Owner
3. Click Edit
4. Click "Other Users and Groups"
5. Type in your PC username then click "CheckNames"
6. select your username in the Owner list and click apply
7. Click OK on the popup, and the two other dialogs.
8. Back onto security, select your username and click "Edit"
9. Select your username again, and choose "Full Control" in the check boxes below.

Apply and OK both screens.

If nothing works, backup and do a "Repair" install. I could do a guide on how to repair Windows, but it'll be too big to fit on comments of YouTube. Google up "Repair option on Windows", and click the first link from About - This should help. Repairing windows will fix this issue.

Check for malware. If it's not malware and other security programs causing blocks, then your O/S is best up for a re install.
