I have verified the games,uninstalled & re-installed them and still only get the "An administrator has blocked you from running this app" message box.

Now, I am not brilliant when it comes to computers,more like install a game,then play it, so if anybody can help a not to bright computer user I would really appreciate any & all help,advice & suggestions.

Looking forward to some,hopefully, help with this.
Thanks
welcome to subsim.

you have run into problems that many before you have experienced. however, you will have to do some admin things to get SH4 to run.

first, if you installed SH4 into the default Win10 folder of ProgramFiles, de-install it and re-install it to a different folder off the root. for example, many of us install to C:\Ubisoft.

next, after you install, browse to the folder and find SH4.exe
right click and choose Properties.
Uncheck Read-only
Click on Compatibility tab.
Check Run as Administrator.
Click on Change DPI Settings Button
At the bottom, check the Override High DPI Settings
Click OK.
Click Apply, then Click OK.
SH4 should launch.

as a newbie, you should read TheBerbsters' Guide:

Good luck.
