Steps to reproduce

1. Download from obsidian.md/download
2. Run .exe
3. Profit?

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? No as it doesn’t apply.

Expected result

Actual result

You get a blue pop-up that makes you press “run anyway” or “don’t run”.

PSA regarding the 1.7.4 release:

• On Windows, we’ve obtained a new signing certificate, which takes time to build trust with Microsoft. If you encounter a SmartScreen warning, you may have to choose “More info”, then “Run anyway” until enough people click that for Microsoft to trust our new signing certificate.
