sorry i completely forgot to respond, but I tried this some days ago

I was able to get the version you linked running after going through some menus on windows defender, and it worked like normal after that. Weird thing is that the previous one didn't show up for any viruses when i tried it. Even weirder is that today I tried to recheck my findings, and it started working again.

So it's definitely not a problem with the program, and if I had to guess, I would say it had something to do with windows defender, and maybe the machine learning virus detection that originally flagged your new build, but idk.

anyways thanks for the help, I guess virus detection isn't too easy on indie software

Thanks for following up, I'm glad it's working in at least some form. As far as I know Windows Defender doesn't use any ML for virus detection, it relies on signature database files the way most AV programs have for years. But the UI around when it has and hasn't flagged something has always been a bit opaque and not predictable from system to system.

(For anyone else coming across this comment, I didn't end up doing the official 9.18 release then obviously. Still gotta work out some stuff with the mac build.)

looked up the code I got for that version and I got this, which said it was a machine learning detection.

This all seems to be a one off thing tho, as I didn't find anyone else having this issue with your program when I searched, so I guess it doesn't matter anyway.
