What Prevents the Cydia Impactor From Working?
There are plenty of reasons which can prevent the application from working and some of the most common ones are listed below:
Administrative Privileges: The software requires administrative privileges to complete certain actions that require the device administrators permission. If the administrative privileges are not granted certain elements of the software might not work properly.
Compatibility: In some cases, the software can cause conflicts with the Windows 10 operating system which can prevent it from launching properly. Luckily, the operating system provides compatibility support for older versions of the operating system.
Outdated: The software is used for purposes that the IOS and Android creators do not condone. For this reason, almost after every security update to the mobile phone, the Cydia Impactor software is prohibited from being used. However, the developers of the software release new updates to the Cydia Impactor software which allow users to pass through these security barriers.
Microsoft Account: If you have signed in to the computer using a Microsoft Account the Cydia Impactor software might not work because when you are signed in with the Microsoft account certain activities that are a security breach are prohibited and Cydia Impactor might be one of them.
