Windows 10 SmartScreen vs ClickOnce app

Hi experts,

I have a Visual Studio 2015 built C# ClickOnce app. Everytime i release an update, all of our Windows 10 users get this pop up from Smartscreen. What changes can I make with my app to not trigger this?

You need to digitally sign your apps. Only digitally signed apps can be trusted so smart screen will not complain.

I signed the app here, getting the same result. Do I need a specific type of cert?

I am not using these tools, but it seems signing the clickonce manifest alone is not enough. I'd wait for someone to tell you how to.

Thanks David. It sounds like for an internally used application, it's probably better just to click around the SmartScreen warnings rather than jumping the hoops and MAYBE having it go away with a real cert.
