Ah, that's unfortunate but normal: SmartScreen learns what's safe to run in part based on what other folk have downloaded and run without issue. When there's a new installer released, it inherently hasn't been downloaded and run by many people yet, so SmartScreen warns about that. I *think* you can at least reduce the likelihood of getting those warnings by signing the installer, but see, e.g., https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-November/252521.html for the problems with that. Otherwise, the only way to avoid that warning AFAIK is to wait until a bunch of other people have downloaded the installer and SmartScreen has learned it's probably safe. (Disclaimer: I work for Microsoft these days, but neither Cygwin nor SmartScreen are anywhere near my day job; I have no inside knowledge or influence.) -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Issues to install cygwin 3.3.6
Hello, Running setup-x86_64.exe (version 3.3.6) requires an app on Windows 11 (fully up to date). It is looking for an app that does not exist with Microsoft Store. This was not required for any of the previous version. Is there a solution to fix this? For now I am using the previous version. Thanks in advance for your help.
