  1. Windows Smartscreen not asking my password


    The windows smartscreen is not asking my password whenever I perform any admin level action. The smartscreen appears but only shows options of yes and no without requiring me to enter my password or scan my fingerprint. How do I change this? I can't even see the windows smartscreen option under the 'Security' dropdown list in Security and Maintainence' in Control Panel.

    :)

    Hello Drugo, Windows Smartscreen not asking my password :)

    Windows SmartScreen requires a password of an administrator to allow.

    You'll need to add a password for your account to be able provide it's administrator password in Windows SmartScreen.

    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.
