 # Windows 

 Windows SmartScreen may flag the download as "not recognized" because CHIRP is a small project that releases often. If you see this warning, just click **More Info** and then **Run Anyway**.

 You can be comfortable doing this because the **Publisher** means that the digital signature on the file is intact. When you run it you may see this from UAC, which shows the **Verified Publisher**:

 After this you should not be prompted again until you update CHIRP. 

 ## Edge browser 

 Microsoft's Edge browser will warn you about files it doesn't think are "commonly downloaded" and may be suspicious. Because CHIRP is a small project which releases often, this may always be a problem because it never gets downloaded enough for Microsoft to consider it "commonly downloaded." In order to get edge to let you keep your download, you need to jump through some hoops. If you see this warning, click the three dots next to the file and choose **Keep**:

 Then click **Show More** and **Keep** again:
