Why Does Windows Block Jubler?

When downloading Jubler on Windows 10 or Windows 11, you may see warnings from Microsoft Defender SmartScreen stating that “Jubler-X.Y.Z-x64.exe isn’t commonly downloaded” or asking you to “Make sure you trust Jubler-X.Y.Z-x64.exe before you open it.”

This is normal and expected behavior. Windows SmartScreen uses reputation-based protection, which means it flags files that haven’t been downloaded by millions of users. Jubler is open-source software with a smaller user base compared to commercial applications, so Windows doesn’t recognize it as “commonly downloaded.”

Jubler is safe. The application is digitally signed by the SignPath Foundation (a non-profit code signing service for open-source projects), and you can verify the publisher information in the warning dialog.
