Win11+Win Defender+Edge and v8.3.4

Post by DarkFoss »

I'm using Windows 11 Pro secure boot enable and was running the previous v8.18 client with the Edge browser. I saw the notice in the client about a new version so I hit finish then tried downloading the new client. Download is being blocked by Windows Defender in the same way as anyone that has used Nortons AV would be familiar with.
Below is the following message:

Make sure you trust fah-client_8.3.4_AMD64.exe before you open it
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen couldn't verify if this file is safe because it isn't commonly downloaded. Make sure you trust the file you're downloading or its source before you open it.

There is an option to report this file as safe to Microsoft, I did so.
Just a heads up. I did download the file and install it with Firefox/Chrome running fine.
