Handling Windows Security (Unsigned Application)

Windows may show security warnings because the application isn't code-signed:

SmartScreen Warning: If you see "Windows protected your PC"
- Click "More info"
- Click "Run anyway"
User Account Control: Allow the installer to make changes
Follow the installation wizard prompts

What "Unsigned" Means: The application doesn't have a digital signature from a recognized certificate authority(aka Microsoft). Windows flags this as potentially risky, but it's safe to proceed.
