In W10 - you can add exclusion to prevent the file from deleting.
But i get errors on install. See this thread. https://forum.minimserver.com/showthread.php?tid=6778
I'm using Windows 11 and got same problem. Can't even open it and i'm not happy to disable smartscreen.

its from a trusted source.

I have sent a report to Microsoft about the downloads for MinimWatch and MinimServer being blocked incorrectly. If I get a response, I will post an update here.
This always seems to happen with a new release. I have tried signing the release downloads with a code signing certificate but this doesn't seem to prevent the blockage. Usually the blockage is removed in a few days or a couple of weeks.

Don't know if it helps but I did send a report yesterday too

I can confirm it works for me now. It also seems to be signed!

I just tried this on Windows 10 (I don't have Windows 11) and I am still getting the "blocked" messages when trying to download MinimServer and MinimWatch using Edge.
I tried clearing the browser cache but this made no difference.

It appears that signing the downloads with a recognised code signing certificate might reduce the chances of this warning being triggered, so I have purchased a code signing certificate and I will replace the downloads with signed versions soon.
Thanks, in my case is the internet provider (it is the principal one in Italy) that refuses to open the download page. I don't know how to avoid this

I tried with all the browser I have on my W10 PC
in all cases I receive a message like the one in picture

Just tried using Safari and Firefox and it works … on macOS

This is a different problem than the problem originally reported on this thread.
The error NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID means that the web page domain name doesn't match any of the domain names in the SSL certificate provided by the web page for https connections to the web page. I have checked the SSL certificate and it does include an entry for the domain name minimserver.com.
Are you only seeing this error for the Downloads page or also for other pages on the minimserver.com website such as Release notes?
Are you seeing this error as soon as you open the Downloads page or after you have selected an item to download?
