My downloads are getting deleted

Why is it that if I download games here it gets deleted the second I open the file?

What do you mean? That sounds strange. It's not something the app should be doing, I don't think. Can you give some details?

Hi, the same thing is happening to me: when I download something from the site (including the app, that's why I can't use it), the file stays for a second on my computer and then disappears. It doesn't seem to happen with pdf.

That sounds more like an overeager antivirus to me.

It was really the windows defender all along. I'm sorry I haven't replied to this, I have been busy.

I thought too but even with my antivirus off it keeps happening, but thanks for your time.

Thank you for noticing this. I just find it strange when I download any games from this website whenever I open the downloaded file or even the file location, the file will get deleted immediately. I have already tried downloading zip files from other websites and it works perfectly fine. It just happens in itch.io

Again, what exactly do you mean by this? Where does it happen? In the app?
