I cannot allow a programme to run, Defender does not enable me

    Hi

    I have a back-up programme that is being blocked by Widows Defender and I
    have to unblock it every time I power on.

    The Windows Defeder Help tells me
    "The next time Windows Defender alerts you about the software, on the Action
    menu in the Alert dialog box, click Always Allow. If you are prompted for an
    administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide
    confirmation."

    But I cannot find the action menu in the alert box of Windows Defender. The
    only menu I found are
    - Remove or disable
    - Unblock
    - help.

    When using software explorer in Widows defender, I can see the software but
    the button "enable" remains inactive.

    How can I declare that a software is allowed?

    Thanks to another post, I have been given the idea to use the Task
    Scheduler, but it did not give the expected results.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    to activate this button you have to click on "Show for all users" button
    which has the UAC's shield on it.

    I did it and ... I did not detected any newly available menu that would solve
    the problem.

    Thanks in avance for further developping your idea.

    Cheers

    I use the Task Scheduler for programs like that, to start at logon or at a
    particular time and have them run with highest privileges.
