Microsoft Defender on Windows 11.23H2 flags version 2.02 with "Unknown Publisher"

[Zormin]

When starting GraXpert-win64.exe - Microsoft Defender blocks the execution with - "Unknown publisher"

I also tried the msi version: https://github.com/schmelly/Background_extraction/releases/download/2.0.3/GraXpert-2.0.3-win64.msi - same result.

Is this as expected?

Dear @Zormin

unfortunately this is to be expected, yes. To avoid such a warning on Windows, we would have to digitally sign our release packages. However, we would have to pay some hundred dollars per year for the required code signing certificate. As GraXpert is a hobby for us we did not invest in this so far.
