Blacksuit2375 This started on my main personal machine a while back (maybe August '23 or so?) after an update I think. I get it A LOT!! For all sorts of programs, the majority of which are from reputable companies, are "signed" and have been on my machine for ages. Admittedly, about half of them could potentially be security risks if installed or running unintentionally, such as NoMachine. The other half, I dunno why they trigger this warning. I've gone into Windows Security settings and created exceptions for many of them but it makes no difference, I still getting these notifications and it still keeps blocking my important software and I cannot find any place to turn it off. Likewise, Googling (and Binging) has return no useful results.  But apparently not too many people are having or reporting this problem.  It's annoying as heck and I want to disable it!  Also note that most of the programs I am getting this on are NOT web related.
