    SmartScreen, despite being off, is triggered by certain programs


    I have SmartScreen turned off, but it is still interfering with at least two programs on my system. While the SmartScreen warning doesn't actually come up, the Task Manager reveals it is indeed running.

    Is there a way to figure out why SmartScreen is being triggered?

    Check under App and Browser Control in Defender control panel and try choosing all apps to Off, just set each one to Off and see.

    By default, it’s set to Warn.

    Yes, that's the first thing I checked...
