⚠️ Windows SmartScreen Warning

The first time you run the installer, you may see a Windows Defender SmartScreen warning.

Why does this Warning appear? Is the Installer unsafe? No, this warning is put in place by Microsoft to warn against unsinged executables. Code signing is a way of making sure an executable is made by the people who you think it is and not a 3rd party one sent to you by a malicious actor.

Code signing costs hundrets of dollars a year and therefore is not financially feasable to do for this installer.
