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 ๐ซฉ
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"
Yes, you can pull the "more options" thing and run it.
