Interesting.

I regularly download our signed installer often within a minute of it being made available, never noticed a delay.

Maybe it’s very the first time Windows Defender sees a particular org on a cert.

I renewed our cert literally on Friday, tested by making a new build of our installer and could instantly install it fine.

I was always able to install immediately on the same machine.
