Windows 10: Wiseupdt.exe, and why it's flagged as from "unknown publisher"?

When I try to run the Check for Updates app from the start menu on my Win 10 Pro (build 19041) PC, I get a message box, "Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device? wiseupdt.exe" Do I need to worry? If this is Microsoft software, why does it appear as being from an unknown publisher?

Unknown Publisher when trying the installer(exe/msi) on windows 10

I'm using Visual Studio 2019 and have build "Installers(msi/exe)" using "Setup Wizard".

When i'm running the set.exe installer, the application "publisher" is being reported as "Unknown".

I've gone through some references and found that the setup.exe needs to be digitally signed with the certificate. So,

i have followed below steps to add digital signature to the setup.exe

1. Create Digital certificate (https://knowledge.digicert.com/solution/SO26065.html)

2. Using signtool i have digitally signed setup.exe

signtool.exe sign /f "E:\sample.pfx" /p "sample@123" /tr
http://timestamp.comodoca.com/rfc3161 /v "E:\setup.exeWhen
i try to run setup.exe locally, the application "publisher" is reported as "localhost" instead of "Unknown", but if i

run the same setup.exe on another system application "publisher" is reported as "Unknown"Please provide any suggestions on fixing this "Unknown
Publisher" issue

MSI & EXE installation throwing pop up as unknown publisher on Windows 10 - 1607 and 1709 update

I am trying to install an EXE which is a wrapper to the MSI on Windows 10 - 1607 and 1709 versions of OS which is throwing a pop up as
unknown publisher. (both EXE and MSI is throwing the pop up)

We have the .pfx files and the installer should not show unknown publisher.

NOTE: this issue was not observed in the previous version of Windows(7 & 10).

Please let us know if there is any specific UAC changes as part of these latest WIN10 updates and workaround for the same.
