    Okay, this happens for most .exe's and .bat's that I run but not all of them. 2 days ago I was able to run cmd and .bat or any other program easily. I ran a .bat to run my server, and I automatically get this: "Error: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item" But, I am the administrator, my firewall and windows defender is turned off, I currently have no AV, and my permissions are set to where I have full control. There is no "Unblock" button in the general tab of the file properties. I tried installing MalwareBytes a few weeks ago and it gave me an error. I do not remember the error but it said access was denied, and it uninstalled it. I tried again today to install it and I got the same error. What is happening? I scanned my system with 3 different anti-viruses, and they said there was nothing, so I uninstalled all of them. Is this a virus that is causing the problem? It's really bothering me and I need help ASAP. I have TeamViewer and if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it, and I may even pay a small amount of money for their support. Thank you!

    Option one:
    Support Resolutions by Microsoft themselves.

    Microsoft Support Resolutions: For your exact problem.

    Option two:

    1. Right click the application in question
    2. At the bottom of the properties screen (under the Advanced button) there is a button that says "UNBLOCK" (there should be a security message that states that this file has been copied from another computer...)
    3. Press this button.
    -This worked for me before when I used this method.

    Option Three:
    Your problem may be caused by a virus or malware.
    Download these three programs and do a scan on each.

    MalwareBytes -
    MalwareBytes

    CCleaner -
    CCleaner

    Advanced SystemCare by iObit -
    Advanced Systemcare

    Hope this helped.
