Windows Defender won't let me update any of the apps.


Recommended Posts

Hey thanks for the reply. If I click Run Anyway or even if I right-click on the file and "Run as admin", it tells me that this app can't run on my PC. 

As I said this just happened with the latest version of the apps. So far I had no problem updating them. I need to make a document in Publisher and now I can't even open it because the beta period expired :(

Edit: I tried to uninstall the beta and install it again but same message.

In your original screenshot there was a problem with the digital signature.

It was showing "Publisher: Unknown Publisher".  It should say "Verified Publisher: Serif (Europe) Ltd".

Try re-downloading the Affinity Photo installer file from the Serif website link below and see if you still have the same issue:

I tried that link and it's the same message. It acts like it's not signed. I always downloaded them from inside my Affinity account. 

Will try on install them on my laptop to see if it's the same error.

Edit: tried on my laptop, same error.

I am on the Windows 10 May update if that makes a difference.

Hmm strange, I downloaded them again and now all work...

Maybe Affinity updated the files because I've been trying the same process for 2 days now and it didn't work until now.

 

I've done some more testing and it seems that it's my browser. I use Vivaldi as my main browser and sometimes Edge Chromium. Whenever I download using those 2, the files don't have the digital signature. I tried with both browsers in incognito mode without any extensions and it's without signature.

With Firefox or the normal Edge it downloads them normally.....strange.
