Why
Windows Smart App Control blocks unsigned executables with no bypass option. Azure Trusted Signing requires an organization identity in the EU (individual developers only supported in USA/Canada). Until code signing is resolved, the auto-update feature causes more problems than it solves since users cannot run the downloaded updates.
