For users who did not use Run By SmartScreen, I included here some examples which show how it works.
RunBySmartScreen is intended for opening all new\unsafe\unknown files on Windows 8 and higher versions. So it can be used as on-demand reputation & SRP application.
Installation files and native Windows executables (COM, EXE, SCR, MSI) in UserSpace are always checked by SmartScreen before executing (forced SmartScreen), even when they would be normally ignored by SmartScreen.
If the file is from not dangerous category (checked by file extension), then it is allowed to be opened (photos, media files, plain text documents, etc.).
If the files can be abused but are widely used (PDF, DOCX, etc.), then an alert is displayed, like the below:

Additionally, for MS Office documents and PDF files, the Mark Of The Web (MOTW) is added. So, the applications open those files as if they were downloaded from the Internet.
If the user tries to open the shortcut with the command line, then it is blocked with an alert:

Compressed archives not supported by Windows build-in unpacker (.7z, .arj, .rar, .zipx) are blocked with an alert and short warning:
[ATTACH=full]214601[/ATTACH]
Other files with dangerous extensions (over 250 file types) are blocked with an alert, for example:
