Hi all – Windows Defender SmartScreen blocks Inkscape 1.0 on both of my machines, and blocks both the.msi and .exe installers. Screenshot attached.
I think the root problem is that Inkscape isn't a signed application with a named Publisher. I read in the release notes that the macOS version is now signed and notarized – is the Windows version not similarly signed?
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, major release 1909 (latest), build 18363.815 (latest).
Settings: The only relevant setting I know about is in Settings --> Apps --> Apps and Features, on top where it says "Choose where to get apps", and I have "Anywhere" selected on one machine, and "Anywhere, but let me know if there's a comparable app in the Microsoft Store" on the other machine. So these are the least restrictive settings for installing applications, yet Inkscape still triggers the attempt to block it.

Should this be filed as a bug? A feature request?
Thanks.
This happened a lot to me with different softwares. But I trust those resources so I "run anyway"
