@Themelys Can you attach the message you see? Theres a few ways you can go about this actually so it depends on the message you get.

      @Themelys Normally with that error a Windows message pops up and wants to get permission to install, run, download, etc. Can you check in your Windows settings under permissions and make sure there are no alerts?

      Also, try changing the UAC in Windows as well. If that does not work change it back.

      Change UAC Controls within Windows (change back once tested)

      There is something on your system that wants to access it, so it will be Windows not having admin rights or security for Windows, Antivirus, of firewall.
