00HI Dean,
Microsoft SmartScreen is a security mechanism that can protect you from malware and phishing attacks. In addition, this filter can protect you from potentially dangerous files. But sometimes it shows wrong info as well.
Since your file isn’t malicious and that it comes from a safe source, you can easily fix the problem by locating the file in the download list, right-clicking it and choosing Download unsafe file. To do that in Microsoft Edge, do the following:- Open Microsoft Edge.
- Click the Hub icon in the top right corner and then click the Downloadicon on the right. Alternatively, you can use Ctrl + J keyboard shortcut to quickly open the Downloads panel.
- Locate the problematic download, right-click it, and choose Download unsafe file from the menu. The problematic file should have its name in red, so it will be easy to spot.
- Open Internet Explorer.
- Click the Gear icon in the top right corner and choose View downloads from the menu. Alternatively, you can use the Ctrl + J shortcut to open the Downloads window.
- Once the Downloads window opens, locate the problematic file, right-click it,and choose Download unsafe file from the menu.
If you’re frequently getting the This unsafe download was blocked by SmartScreen message, you might want to consider disabling SmartScreen entirely. To do that, open Internet Options and follow these steps:- Press Windows Key + S and click Internet Options.
- When the Internet Properties window opens, go to the Security tab and click Custom level.
- Locate the Miscellaneous section. Now, locate Use SmartScreen Filteroption and set it to Disable. Click OK to save changes.
- Optional: You can disable SmartScreen by going to the Advanced tab and unchecking the Enable SmartScreen Filter option. After doing that, click Apply and OK to save changes.
- Start Internet Explorer.
- Click the Gear icon in the top right corner and choose Safety. Then, click Turn on SmartScreen Filter.
- Choose the Turn off SmartScreen Filter option and click OK to save changes.
Regards,
Lokesh
