windows protected your pc pop

Hi, 

We have this stubborn windows 10 workstation that when you try to launch Sage 100, windows pop up with "Windows protected your PC" and the only way to run it is click on "run anyway" and continue in order to open Sage. The user has to this every time in order to launch Sage. Did anyone experience this and how did you solved it? We rebuilt the workstation 3 times and we still get this message. We're on Sage 100 2022 PU 2.

Thank you.

    the screen was just a sample one (so it said setup.exe).. if the first screen is the same, then it is Windows Defender/Windows Security - Smartscreen - that is blocking the Launcher32 application.  You can try renaming the "SAGE 100" folder under the Windows user's Documents folder and see if that is able to launch Sage 100. if message still appears (possibly referring to a different launcher program such as Launch32 or Launcher2016.exe) then you may want IT to look at disabling that SmartScreen temporarily to confirm that is issue and then find way to exclude the launcher program going forward.
