I discovered basic versions of windows are even more restrictive when I was unable to install my favorite lightweight pdf reader in a friend's laptop because Windows home just said that for my safety I wasn't allowed. With no option to bypass this limitation being hinted at.
Ended up installing it anyways but had to run the installer from an admin terminal (luckily it was windows 7 so it was a local account with admin rights instead of a bullshit Microsoft one)
drop the pdf reader. libreoffice makes the pdfs look horrific and apache doesnt work
This has to be some sort of policy being enabled. I have seen that window, but there are ways to bypass it - though in hindsight, they are not as evident. For example, right-click then choose "Open."
