Guys, please help me.

Windows is preventing the new alpha from running on my computer, saying it's unrecognized and it'll put my computer at risk. Please help me and guide me in understandable words.

I really want to play this new build, but I need step-by-step advice from a pro to help me figure out how to open up the file.

Just give us the screenshot of your dialog box/screen.

This is what happened when I downloaded alpha 15 from itch.io directly on Google Chrome, then extracted the files from the zip, and executed it. My computer thinks it is a malware and doesn't even give me a "Run Anyway" option.And here's what happens when I try to download the new build from the itch.io app. It forces me to find a new app to download it and open the itch link, but there are no available apps as soon as I go the Microsoft Store. As of now, I'm currently stuck with the covid beta version that was downloaded automatically by the itch.io app.

The first thing I'd do is disable Windows Defender SmartScreen before playing AEWVS and reactivate it. And also change the Store search to "itch.io" and look things up on Google if that doesn't help.

Where do I go to temporarily disable it?

Actually, how come I didn't think of it before? Press the "More Info" button and you should be able to bypass it.
