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.
Just recently re-installed sh4 and have followed the above directions but still get the message an admin has blocked me from running this app. Please advise!

edit: using w10 and I am listed as the admin on my computer
