I don't know why it wouldn't work. I'm on his latest with none of these issues.

@Mike A. posted a link that shows you how disable it earlier in this thread
The problem is many of us don't want to run a more recent version, even though my support plan is still active as I support what he is doing and will switch to CodeProject at some point, so I want to help him advance that by staying current.
There are the other workarounds that I guess many of us will do.
I've got the same problem running BI Version 4.8.6.3 on updated W10.
BI service doesn't seem to be affected.
I tried using FileUnsigner as this makes the most sense to me from what I read in this thread, but Windows won't let me modify BlueIrisAdmin.exe
---------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS:
0: Failed trying to unsign C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 4\BlueIrisAdmin.exe. Der Zugriff auf den Pfad "C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 4\BlueIrisAdmin.exe" wurde verweigert.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Next I created a batch file with the following content and executed it as Administrator:
FileUnsigner.exe "C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 4\BlueIrisAdmin.exe"
But this still doesen't unblock Blue Iris Console.
What am I doing wrong?
Any ideas how to resolve this without completely deactivating UAC?

Why would you think "its a slick way to force upgrades" if its clear that its a certificate issue
Yes it is.... Stop using Blue Iris immediately and search for a better alternative... It was obviously a scheme planned years ago dating back to the cert in BI4 (as those users have this issues as well)....why the hell would you trust these crooks with your home security. This is two intentional schemes back to back (the last was the license fiasco). Please let us know what alternatives you find. We all want to switch ASAP...Thank you so much.
Please post a screenshot of the email where they told you this is the solution. Ill wait.

Just use a file unsigner tool and unsign the few exe files in the root BI directory, no need to disable UAC and other windows security features using regedit for this to work. Just unsigned them and all fine.
Google "unsign tool softpedia" and download from the first link, tool should be only 7kb. Read the readme file inside to know how to do it, pretty easy.

Copy the BlueIrisAdmin.exe file anywhere on your computer (e.g. on your desktop), unsign it, then copy-paste it back to BI folder, make sure Blue Iris isn't running as a service and is completely closed since otherwise that file will be in use preventing you to replace it with the unsigned one.

Open notepad, Type "C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 4\BlueIrisAdmin.exe" (or whatever your correct file path is including the "") then click File>Save As and name it BI.bat and click the dropdown and select "All Files" then hit SAVE. Then right click that file on your desktop and select "create shortcut" Then right click the shortcut and select properties.. Then hit the Advanced button under the general Tab, Then select run as Administrator and apply and save.. Now click that file and blueiris will open as it normally does.

I haven't paid for extended support for quite awhile, therefor I could not get the upgrades.... So today when that happened to me I thought what the heck, I bought another year of support and upgraded to the latest version of BI, and all was resolved after the latest version was installed.

That's a quick way to save some time and it works, thanks!
Did you see the question mark???? That made it a question, not a statement. I upgraded and all is good. No need to get salty.

no, the thread explains everything hand how to resolve it...
Does someone want to be the tester LOL.
Rumor is you can install the latest BI on a different computer (obviously it is in eval mode) and then copy that BlueIrisAdmin.exe file from that installation and replace the existing one in C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 5 on your BI server and everything works fine like nothing happened and lets you stay on whatever V5 update version you are on.
I am guessing that the blueirisadmin.exe file must simply be a pointer to the actual install files?
