Windows 10: Questionmark Secure Browser must be opened from a .qmsb file or qmsb:URL

My windows11 24H2 can not open Questionmark Secure exe file. The error says [Questionmark Secure Browser must be opened from a .qmsb file or qmsb:URL]. But Questionmark says Windows11 can open the application. In registory, \HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.qmsb is created. Would somebody knows about this??

Security attributes for Downloaded files

To disable the Open File Security Warning in all browsers or apps that downloads a file from the internet, follow these steps:

• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type inetcpl.cpl and press Enter.
• Adjust the lever to your desired security level (From low to high) and click OK. You can also add trusted sites if your site is not yet on the list.

In addition to the steps above, you can Customize the level of security. Just click Custom level and you can
Enable the app or browser that you want to download files.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Browser /connection security, hosts file and DNS service

You're saying that Open DNS(and other services like it) house their own list of known 'bad' sites, and by using their DNS servers, it will filter out sites based on that list?

Would you believe I was already using Open DNS servers.
This means the hosts file is moot?

And furthering that, if there's any bespoke sites I want to manually add, I could do it through my router directly.

Thus I can empty my local hosts file and turn my DNS service back on?
