      Is it? The only hoop I can remember jumping through is the (usually) singular UAC popup

      Unless you’re Ubisoft and pop up 5-8 of them every time you open Ubisoft connect 🫩

        Windows will block any software that isn’t popular. Unless the developer pays Microsoft.

          I think I’ve seen this before, very rarely though. If I remember correctly you can continue to open it from the popup, right?

          “Windows Smartscreen has blocked this app from running”

            It’s only a thing if you leave smartscreen on. Think it might also only apply to stuff downloaded through Edge, but don’t quote me on that.
