Windows is getting close to macOS in that regard. Specifically, both browser and OS are arbitrarily marking installers as malware, scaring users. Even digital signatures don't help.
The only reliable workaround is publishing through Windows store.
- wila 5y agoYep, been bitten by that myself. Nowadays normal (OV) codesign signatures still trigger warnings for users on startup. Only a much more expensive EV codesign certificate guarantees a silent install. The OV codesign certificate can become accepted by Smartscreen, but it can take a very long time with many downloads (in my case it took over 5 months, with thousands of downloads)
- CaptainZapp 5y agoCan you provide an example? I never had an issue with installing (mostly signed) Windows software.
