Downloadig Hex or elf file in STM32F103 based BluePill Module

Welcome to everyone!
This question concerns the STM32F103CBT6 microcontroller , I have given a "BluePill" module equipped with this microcontroller. When I download the hex or elf file with STM Programer, it downloads nicely, no problem, But! however, it catches itself without any precedent and locks itself, and a message appears that it is only available in Reset mode, the program meter is no longer connected to the microcontroller. Could this be eliminated somehow, so that whenever I want to download something, can I do it without any problems? There should be no microcontroller "locking", etc. . Thank you very much in advance for your help Everyone!

Beware that it is highly unlikely that a "Blue Pill" contains a genuine STM32.

Pardon?

Please post a screenshot of what you actually see.

Also what version of CubeProgrammer, what Operating System, etc

PS:

And are you using a genuine ST-Link, or a "clone":

The operating system I use is Windows 10, but it used to do this during Window 7 professional. The STM Programmer I use is the latest version offered by the STM download site. there was an older ST-Link programmer application with it also it shop for prominence ,even after all kinds of updates. I will attach a screenshot of the little text box informing me about this microcontroller "lock". If there is a solution to this ,so that there is no download problem, which I wrote about earlier, eternal gratitude and thanks anyway !

What I'm using now a pendrive style STLink-2 Programmer , I think It is a "clone" . Yes I know exist original STLink-2 programmer and this programmer look like white little box with fine ST logo. .

As shown in the link I gave, that is definitely a clone - not a genuine ST product.

The ST logo is fake.
