Thx,

I had done the 1st part but it had fits. The 2nd part looks to solve my issue.

The problem is it will no longer alert you to an attempted malware install.

I get what MSFT are trying to do. Address the security concerns of their consumers.

I'd like to see them adopt the same approach as the guys from Cupertino.

Ask for permission to install an app (modify the system) then assume that app is approved for all future use instead of making me authorize it every time I need to run it.

At least for products that they themselves make/distribute
