Hello I am trying to recover my old wallet I dont even remember how much was on there I know it wasnt a full bitcoin or anything but there was like 50$ at the time. I tried installing bitcoin core but windows blocks it from installing on my pc it says blocked by administrator. How do I fix this or is there another way of opening this wallet?

Probably some windows defender shit. I have it all disabled from the start.
You can google it. Here's what I got after copy-pasting it in google search:
