Can't create new sites, since Local is requesting administrative privileges

[marco1]

Every time I try to create a new site it doesn’t run, saying “Local is requesting administrative privileges”. But I can’t click on this pop up, so I can’t do anything. I’ve disactivated any antivirus and deleted and installed again Local but still it doesn’t work.
Can you help me with that please?
