The partnership between Microsoft and Dell is out of control. But I got my file downloaded and in my achieves. There was one test where I discovered 3 dots I could choose to keep the file (might be the best choice, a warning with a choice). The switch use descriptions were unclear when trying to make definitive decisions and definitely not intuitive to a user. Repeat testing didn't get consistent results. In the laptops I had to turn off checking files or smart screen to let in a file from a trusted source with a believed false positive.

when this file was blocked, Edge was trying to deliver the file and download it into the PC. Looks like the new things in the web security and malware control is reputation -based protection settings.

Since I could not download this forum recommended tool, and Support Assist worked something else was a foot.

The clean install 4 Dell Laptops being repurposed for a non- profit organization didn't have SAC and therefore had no problems with Support Assist! And I wanted this tool! Because Edge and Defender and doing the same kind of things SAC is doing! When SAC blocked the file came in and started to install and was blocked with a notification I was able to get Support Assist running again, test everything and redo Dell updates.īut the triggers that might set SAC off can be repaired because the Micrsoft trouble shooter was still blocked.

So, I turned off SAC! Now if I ever want to implement SAC again, I have to reinstall windows and there is no clean why of doing that anymore because Win11 has no options to not delete the user's apps on an OS reinstall!

Instead of stepping through removing all of my window's updates as recommended, above. So, the next thing I did was to go back to the oldest restore point to minimize setup work damage that is in progress (about 6 days), didn't help and some of my work was lost. So, I downloaded the Microsoft " Download Troubleshooter (Quite the tool that sounds like it would fix all the things needed.). To my surprise SAC blocked Smart Assist "due to not being properly signed!" A good reason in my book! But Smart Assist was dead for testing and getting up to date easily!

I'm setting up a Dell brand-new computer and I turned on Smart App Control (SAC) in my personal Desktop because it sounds like more control for malware and I trusted Microsoft and their partner's Dell Smart Assist, MS Defender, etc, so, why not trust SAC. It seems like the people on this forum are more technical than I am or the social media group that supports that Dell link. Riya, I took your suggestion to click on the Help link and it didn't go well.
