windows says that smartscreen is on, but I haven't seen it actually do anything lately.
How can I check if it is working?
maybe someone can link me to an installer that recently triggered smartscreen for them, so I can test it out?
You can use an EICAR test file. This is what an EICAR test file consists of:
Verifying your deployment by using the EICAR antivirus test file
You can (try to) download an EICAR test file using the below link:

thanks, bro. did it.
maybe there are different warning messages after anniversary update, because I get this red one and then the blue one
they are a little different from the full-screen notification I used to see, once upon a time
