  1. Turning Smartscreen back on (smartscreen can't be reached...)


    I believe I inadvertently switched off Smartscreen during setup so now, each time I try to install something, Windows says Smartscreen can't be reached right now.

    It's NOT my internet connection. Can someone help?

    :)

  3. 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:

    Msdn forums - Visual Studio General Questions



    Hope the information provided is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we'll be glad to assist you.
