@nathan-courtney-pieces can you help out with this issue?

[nathan-courtney-pieces]

@shaneholloman

When you attempted to install by clicking on the App Installer file did you get any error messages?

You may need to update App Installer as well. You can do this by making sure the Microsoft Store app is up to date, and then making sure App Installer is up to date as well. You are able to update App Installer through the Microsoft Store application. I would also restart your PC after the fact.

Let me know if that does or doesn't work for you and we can attempt other methods.

it was windows defender - sheesh. add to add these dirs

[nathan-courtney-pieces]

@shaneholloman That is good news! Did Windows Defender tell you why it was blocking the application? Also, do you know what you have toggled on (or off) that allows Windows Defender to block our application?

We would love to know what is causing Windows Defender to block our app whether an explicit reason or some sort of setting that is enabled/disabled. Looking to try and reproduce

@judson-at-pieces - anything we should add to the windows docs for this?
