Every time I boot up, I get a 'Windows Has Blocked Some Startup Programs'
message.

I know what the program is, I want it to run every time I start my machine,
so how can I get Windows to let me do so?

Right-click on that EXE in Explorer, go to Properties. On the Compatibility
tab, check the box that says Run As Administrator. That should fix it...

Unfortunately not. I have done this, but it still gets blocked on startup.

Windows Defender might be blocking the program.

If that's the case: Click Start, click All Programs, click Windows Defender,
click Tools, click Software Explorer.
Make sure the Category dropdown says Startup Programs, and click the button
that says Show for all users.
In the left pane, highlight the program that's being blocked/disabled, and
click Enable.

Does that fix the problem?

That didn't fix the problem for me.

Yeah, I have already tried that too. The enable is grayed out.

I even tried disabling it and re-enabling it again, but it is still the
same.

Andy,

What if the program is marked as Not Yet Classified and the Enable button is
not enabled?

I'm told that Not Yet Classified means that MS hasn't analyzed the software
yet. If Enable has been grayed out, it means the item has not yet been
disabled. If it had been disabled, the Classification column will say
disabled.

Hi, haydon this looks like a good permanent fix, just use task manager
instead...
