Out of curiosity have you admin privileges for this program and have you tried to run it as an administrator?
Also greetings and welcome!

This sounds as if either windows 10 or some antivirus has decided that these files are not trusted. Some antivirus software refuse to load libraries they simply haven't seen before.

Following up on Joels logic, the thing to do most likely is to allow the makehuman app through your antivirus software, or make it trusted. Last choice is of course to disable the antivirus during a dry run of program only, to find out if its able to run this way.

I don't know how the program got installed and whether you "installed for everyone" instead of "just me", but I might try installing "for everyone". Then , the App data folder becomes irrelevant.
