Downloaded .exe files wont install - windows defender issue?

I am having trouble installing software.


Razer Synapse - the box pops up asking me if i want to allow program to make changes to my computer. I hit yes and then nothing happens


minitool partition wizard - the setup files are corrupted, please obtain a new copy of the program (pretty sure there not corrupt)



logitech mouse drivers - same as razer synapse


nova bench - the installation package could not be opened. contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package


The common thread with all these programs is that windows defender attempted to block them all before I installed them and I hit install anyway.


What I have tried so far is

1.

Browse to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\FileSystem.4. Click on FileSystem to display its contents in the right pane of the Registry Editor.
5. If the value for either the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation DWORD or the Win31FileSystem DWORD is not 0, right-click the DWORD, choose Modify, and set the value to "0".
6. After closing the Registry Editor, try the installation again.


2.

run services.msc
start windows installer


3.
right click on file
go to properties
uncheck block (although I didn't see a check box on this one)


Anyway thanks for your help in advance, its annoying not being able to install legitimate software.
