How to disable Windows SmartScreen

SmartScreen - a special filter in Windows 8 and 10, designed to protect your computer from malicious software. On the other hand, it often works on completely harmless programs, which are simply unknown to him. Next, we will tell you in detail how to disable it and install applications without restrictions.

Disable SmartScreen in Windows 8

It is worth knowing that you can install the desired program and without complete filter shutdown. To do this, it is enough to see the warning screen, just click on the link "More" and choose "execute anyway". With this method, the system remains more protected. If you still want to disable smartscreen completely:

we open the "Start", go to the "Control Panel";
we find the "Support Center" (or click the notification checkbox in the tray);
in the list of the left click on the "Changing the Smartskin parameters" item;
here we make a choice regarding the behavior of the screen (require the approval of the administrator to launch the program, do not require \\ warn, do nothing \\ disable);
click "OK" to save the changes.

Disable SmartScreen in Windows 10

The feature of the disconnection of this filter in the "dozen" lies in the fact that it works not only in the OS itself, but also separately in the Microsoft Edge browser, as well as app store. The way to turn it off in the operating system is similar to the reviewed for Windows 8:

go to the "control panel";
next, choose "Security and Service";
inside, we find the "Changing Windows SmartScreen" parameters (to continue the work, administrator rights will be required);
select one of the items: Require confirmation \\ Warn \\ Disable.

SmartScreen is disabled in the Group Policy Editor (if the first way is not available):

press Win + R and enter the gpedit.msc command;
in the system configuration window, we go to "Administrative Templates" -\u003e "Windows" components "-\u003e" Explorer ";
on the right we find the "Configure Windows SmartScreen" parameter and double-click on it;
select the "Disabled" item and save the changes.

go to the "Privacy" tab -\u003e "General";
we find the item "Enable SmartScreen Filter to check the web content ... From the Windows Store" and drag the placed next to the slider to the "Disabled" position.
