[How to avoid the "Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting warning"]

*Submitted zip to MS analysis, lets see what happens.

ok, got results (from the current prerelease build:

The warning you experienced indicates that the application had not established reputation with the Microsoft Defender SmartScreen Application Reputation feature at that time. We can confirm that the application (SHA256:64F4D28CC32D388890E39EF44C49C2B43BC889097B55BA0068432AB43EAAB9E7)" has since established reputation and attempting to download or run the application should no longer show any warnings.

Please note, however, that the submitted files are not signed using a valid digital certificate. Unsigned files will have to establish reputation each time a new version is released.

unrelated to Unity: Electron framework signage
unrelated to MS: payments, billing, tax - Padle distribution, but could also be Gumroad.com or others in case of games, but Unity has own services and products... so maybe one day they make something integrated with this MS hosting and signage organization madness, but Unity has also marketing solutions and providers for Unity.

Technology apps distribution could also vary, including consoles and their requirements, so also signage or other aspects of game development process. But in Unity there could be also apps, not only games... And also non-MS issues like Google or Apple deployment and delivery.
