[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 828754, member: 32260"] Yes, this issue is present in Chromium Edge, where SmartScreen works differently from SmartScreen in native Edge. It is encouraging for people who want to download something not accepted by SmartScreen. I submitted this issue to Microsoft, and here is the answer: "Hello Andy, Thank you for your patience. We investigated the issue you reported for Hard_Configurator beta downloaded from hxxps://github.com/AndyFul/Hard_Configurator/blob/master/Hard_Configurator_setup(x64)_beta_4.1.1.1.exe and hxxps://github.com/AndyFul/Hard_Configurator/blob/master/Hard_Configurator_setup(x86)_beta_4.1.1.1.exe. The warning you experienced indicates that the application has not yet established reputation within our system. The certificate used to sign Hard_Configurator beta is currently in the process of establishing reputation in our system. Many factors contribute to establishing reputation, such as download traffic, download history, past anti-virus results and URL reputation, so it can be difficult to predict when a certificate will gain reputation. While your certificate is gaining reputation, your users can click through the warning and install your application by clicking on the link in the message: [B]More information | Run anyway[/B]. Once reputation has been established on your certificate, all your applications, when signed with the same known certificate and assuming nothing happens to denigrate the reputation of the certificate (such as being used to sign malware), should have a warn-free experience from the start. For that reason, Microsoft recommends that publishers sign all applications with the same digital certificate to help better expedite reputation gains and leverage known reputation for new and updated applications. " :giggle::emoji_pray: This answer is OK because that is how SmartScreen works. The current behavior of SmartScreen in Chromium Edge is similar to the behavior of SmartScreen in native Edge on old Windows 10 systems. Now, the native Edge blocks only the known malicious applications, so Hard_Configurator installers are allowed without any alerts from native Edge. The software behavior consistency is not a strong point of Microsoft. [/QUOTE]
