New version of our software gets SmartScreen warning even though the file is signed
We built a new version of our software, the file is signed but Windows SmartScreen still show this message:
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.
What does SmartScreen require to not show this message?
Thank you

- Hi,
Each time an application is run Windows 10 will check if it has a “good” reputation against their catalog of applications.
also in here:

one of the reasons stated is: Poor industry reputation. your newly created application is safe and signed but SmartScreen servers haven't probably identified it as safe yet.
How do I dispute the detection of my program?
