Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your PC?

Post by knorrer »

When starting everything I always get this question:
"Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your PC?"
How can I prevent this question?
I use windows11 Pro.

I have another PC with windows 10 where this problem does not occur.
