Hi,
I have created some windows forms apps, the apps are all signed with a Sectigo code signing certificate but when I download them from my own website, I initially get the windows defender warning that the app has been blocked for my protection, once I select the install anyway option, I get the unknown publisher warning before it will install. I’ve paid a lot of money for a reputable code signing certificate, why does windows still do this & what do I need to do so that my website users don’t suffer these issues?
