[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 888843, member: 32260"] Repeated the test with disabled SmartScreen in Edge (it disables PUA protection in Edge too), but enabled PUA in WD (Used ConfigureDefender with HIGH Protection Level). I restarted Windows to apply ConfigureDefender settings. After this, I used Edge to download the CF installer. The installer was downloaded without any alerts. Next I used the PUA test ([URL='https://www.amtso.org/feature-settings-check-potentially-unwanted-applications/']Feature Settings Check - Potentially Unwanted Applications | AMTSO[/URL]) to be sure if the PUA protection works. It worked as it can be seen from the Edge screenshot: [ATTACH type="full" alt="EdgenoPUA.png"]242600[/ATTACH] Next, I have run the CF installer and it worked without issues. So it seems that: [LIST=1] [*]WD was somewhat spoiled in your system and works strangely. [*]WD reacts correctly to some background process not related to the CF installer. [/LIST] Edit. If you need help then you can PM me and send the Defender Security Log from ConfigureDefender. [/QUOTE]
