there’s an issue with a download I made—a game in .exe format that doesn’t need installation yet. It’s becoming too engaging, making it hard to stop playing even after deleting it. I’ve tried blocking the site through Windows settings but keep returning to a proxy to resist. I’ve looked into registry tweaks but can’t locate a folder called “explorer” in policies. The challenge is removing it without losing access or causing trouble. How can someone disable such a game that feels so hard to quit, especially if it’s not even a tough one like Tetris?

If removal isn't possible, consider reviewing the information provided. Alternatively, you might want to erase the device, though .exe files play a key role in Windows.

I understand there are alternatives, but they take away most of my leisure time. I aim to work smarter, save effort, and avoid issues beyond missing out on a fulfilling life.

This appears to be a significant issue if progress is hindered. As Altecice mentioned, maintaining self-discipline is essential. There’s no justification for experiencing physical urges unless they stem from an addiction. For those struggling with alcohol, they often downplay the severity. Simply remove it.

I believe I possess strong self-control. I once chose to avoid all electronics for a whole year, even though it was tough, and I managed it successfully (p.s., I spent a lot on printing costs, honestly). Strange... I can give up tech with Tetris, but not the game itself.

That's not what it seems. You're probably wondering why I'm here about blocking files.
