Troubleshoot (Build1803)Smartscreen can't be reached right now

Briefly explain your current issue(s)

Smartscreen can't be reached right now

Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful

Check my internet connection

I setup my Windows 10 Build 1803 last night, and I keep getting this Smartscreen pop up every time I tried to run my software. I can check and install updates through Windows Update fine.
Smartscreen can't be reached right now. Check your internet connection. Windows Defender Smartscreen is unreachable and can't help you decide if this app is ok to run.

Do any of you guys have this smartscreen can't be reached when you download a new app and run it? I tested on my laptop, and I am getting the same result as a new clean installation on my desktop.

I'm having the exact same issue. I've tried searching for a solution but couldn't find any that worked.

Me too. First my desktop with a clean installation of build 1803 showed this annoying Smartscreen message, and now my laptop with build 1709.

I just wanted to test samples two hours ago, but I can't. SmartScreen is really down(?)

Yes, exactly. I had cleaned up some files on my laptop and thought I might have caused it. Now I'm not so sure. I PM'd @Andy Ful earlier and currently waiting to continue conversation.

I think so. My laptop and my desktop showed the same result.

I thought I bomb my clean installation as well because I asked myself last night. What the hell did I do? All I did is installed Windows Updates, my motherboard and GPU drivers, and my apps.

I'm seeing this in other forums as well, leading one to believe it is more then likely a MS issue.

I was having this issue on and off, but I think it is resolved now.

It's still down over here with two machines.

Do you all use @Andy Ful's RunBySmartscreen on your system, because my feeling is that this is the issue for me. I don't believe it happened right after the update... it appears it was a couple of days or so... but what do I know?

What is RunBySmartscreen? I have never heard that ever. I just found out yesterday when I finished setup a clean installation for my desktop.

It's his app configured to enable/force SmartScreen on files other than in Edge browser. It can be added to context menu of file explorer.

Windows Smartscreen can do that as well at default. Do any of you guys Smartscreen working yet?

 

[oldschool]

Not a clue but then I'm not savvy!

I am not seeing any issues with smartscreen on my windows build so it isn't internet related.

On my desktop, it keeps saying Smartscreen can't be reached each time I try to run an app that I download it from the internet.

I'm having it too and came to the same conclusion as you.
