trusting windows to protect your pc is like trusting the CIA/Mossad to not spy on you. Its most likely because the executable isnt signed.

Hi @idk-kid1214 Thanks for bringing this up!

As @HappyGoFishing already pointed out:

What youre encountering is a common issue with unsigned executables. Windows flags programs as "potentially unsafe" if they arent signed with a trusted digital certificate. This doesn't necessarily mean the program is harmful -> it is just a precaution Windows takes for any unsigned or unknown software.

If you still want to run the program, you can bypass the warning by clicking More info and then selecting Run anyway.

I am aware of how to run it.
