@37OMKAR this sounds like you arent an admin on your computer then - you may have to get permissions from whoever is to run the application then. This only occurs because the windows app is still currently unsigned

Is there any plan to sign the Windows app and get it recognized by Windows Smart Screen?

@dantewang I would love to TBH, but it seems that interacting with these providers has been nothing short of totally painful (DigiCert mostly) and admittedly its a bit out of my wheelhouse which is why it is taking so long since there are about 20 ways to sign things and they are not exactly flexible.

That's candidly the main blocker.

@timothycarambat you can use Azure Trusted Signing, it's pretty cheap and easy to integrate in a build pipeline.

A workaround is to unblock the file first:
