Windows says "Windows protected your PC"

ClearDesk IQ is sold through the Microsoft Store. The Store version installs without this warning. If you see it, the file did not come from the Microsoft Store.

Steps

Install ClearDesk IQ from the Microsoft Store instead. Open the Microsoft Store, sign in with the Microsoft account you bought it with, find ClearDesk IQ and click Install.
Have records in another copy? Open that copy first and click Backup (top right). Then, in the Store version, use Reports & exports → Restore backup and choose the file.

Check that it worked
