I have three machines in the house...two laptops and a desktop. On one of the laptops Smartscreen works as expected, pushing up a prompt/warning if you attempt to run a file/installer that it doesn't like, and giving you the option to run anyways. However, on my other two machines, running a file that should trigger the prompt instead results in a "working circle" for about a second and then nothing...no warning and file doesn't open (I guess that's good). I can run the file anyway by copying its address in Windows Terminal and it will open. How can I reset Smartscreen (toggling it off and then back on didn't work) to get the prompt to work as expected. I also tried doing a repair and reset of Windows Security and that didn't work either. Thanks.
