Windows 10: SmartScreen Submission Portal – False Detection & Stuck in "In Progress" Status

Hello Microsoft Security Team,I would like to report an issue I am experiencing with the Microsoft Defender file submission portal related to SmartScreen evaluation.When I submit my application for analysis, the portal states that "no malware was detected", which is expected. However, in the file details section, I still see an icon or label showing the file as "Detected", which I believe may be a bug or incorrect flag.Additionally, all of my submissions remain in the "In Progress" state for more than two days with no updates or final resolution. This delay is significantly impacting the reput

SmartScreen not so smart.

Hi,

I would like to inform that Windows SmartScreen helps keep your PC safe by checking downloaded files and web content within apps to help protect you from malicious software and potentially unsafe web content. Before an unknown or potentially
unsafe downloaded file is opened, Windows will display a warning. If SmartScreen detects potentially unsafe web content in an app, Windows will display a warning in place of the content. To disable SmartScreen, follow the steps below:

• Type SmartScreen settings in the Search box and press Enter.
• Click on Change Windows SmartScreen Settings in the left navigation pane.
• Select the option, Don't do anything (turn off Windows SmartScreen) and click on OK.

If you would like to develop a program, then suggest you to post your query in MSDN forums in the link provided below:
