Microsoft tries to develop and offer dedicated features and processes to secure the Windows 10 system. And the built-in Windows Defender SmartScreen security software is there to protect your data and your credentials each time a new app or program is installed.
While this default security solution ensures relatively complex protection, in some situations its functionality can become quite annoying.
In that respect, we can now discuss the Windows Defender SmartScreen security warning messages which are displayed quite a lot, even when it’s not necessary.
For example, when you try to install or run a new app and you receive the Windows protected your PC and prevented an unrecognized app from starting warnings.
If you know that this particular app is safe and will do no harm to the Windows 10 system there is no actual reason for receive those warnings which aren’t letting you with too many options; in fact, you can choose only the ‘don’t run’ option.
Anyway, during the lines from below, we will learn how to disable the Windows Defender SmartScreen security software. But first, let’s see how to get past the Windows protected your PC and prevented an unrecognized app from starting warning.
How do I fix the Windows protected your PC message
1. Allow app when Windows protected your PC message appears
The first step would be to allow an app to freely work in the background without Defender preventing it. This is a rather simple task and here’s what you need to do:
2. Check the Security at a glance
The second step is to check all the boxes (if possible) in the Windows Defender at a glance section. Sometimes, due to a bug, Windows Defender will show a variety of incoherent prompts from time to time. The best way to deal with it is by simply checking all the boxes or dismissing the ones you can’t follow through with. An example would be my disliking of the OneDrive. Just dismissed the suggestion and it doesn’t pop anymore.
3. Disable the Windows Defender SmartScreen security software

- So, that should be all. Now the Windows Defender SmartScreen security software is disabled so you will no longer receive the Windows protected your PC and prevented an unrecognized app from starting warnings.
