Hi. I do sometimes have a Windows defender warning, but on my side this can be bypassed easily by clicking "run anyway". It's common for unsigned Windows software to be flagged as malicious. However, I don't know why this kind of warning is triggered by some versions and not by others.

I re-uploaded an exe which has the following analysis: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/27f65c7f9038b2abfc39a9d7c4ec3a9484ec88cabc7b85b385caed7ea2f9f5eb

If this keeps happening to you, maybe you can try to add an exception to Windows defender? https://www.reddit.com/r/CrackSupport/comments/bsmupx/operation_did_not_complete/

I don't think I can do much to consistently solve this. Signing the software is costly. The source is public, this is the only safety guarantee I can give :-)

Not saying you're distributing malware, just letting you know that this happens when trying to run it. It would give me a defender popup before but I could just click on "run anyway", but this time it just flat out refuses to run

Yes I know that's not what you meant, I was just thinking about ways to be "trusted" consistently :-) I found a Microsoft form for this kind of issue, I sent them the file and a link to the repo.
