How to disable Windows SmartScreen
Windows SmartScreen is windows operating systems default security measure to avoid installing or running malicious/unsecured/unsigned apps. However, sometimes it also prevents normal secured apps from running. The SmartScreen blocks it from running at the backend level so nothing pops up even when double clicking it or trying to run it as administrator. It applies for both normal Desktop/Laptop and Windows Server 2016/2019.
You can prevent it by disabling the Windows SmartScreen while installing the software. It is a very simple procedure. Please follow the instructions given below to disable Windows SmartScreen in Windows Server 2016:
Step 1: Login to your RDP.
Step 2: Go to the windows search option and type SmartScreen. Then go click open the “Change SmartScreen Settings”.
Step 3: After opening it, you will see these options. Click on the “Change Windows SmartScreen settings”.
Step 4: It will pop up a window and show these two options.
Step 5: Select the “Don’t do anything(turn off windows SmartScreen)” and click “Ok”.
Step 6: It will turn off the Windows SmartScreen and you will be able to install your desired software without any issues.
This concludes how to disable Windows SmartScreen and install any software/programs.
