MrsNightmare Posted June 29, 2025 Report Posted June 29, 2025 Windows won't allow me to download VS because its not commonly downloaded. Any work around? I've tried turning off windows security and still won't allow it.
idiomcritter Posted June 29, 2025 Report Posted June 29, 2025 welcome to the forum @MrsNightmare are you getting a blue screen window that has a "don't run" click button? if thats the case, should be a more info that can be clicked on, that will allow downloading...
MrsNightmare Posted June 29, 2025 Author Report Posted June 29, 2025 no it has an option to email Microsoft and fill out a form saying that it's safe and what not or delete download
idiomcritter Posted June 29, 2025 Report Posted June 29, 2025 sometimes using a different browser can help, firefox, or chrome maybe

Thorfinn Posted June 29, 2025 Report Posted June 29, 2025 Windows can be such a pill sometimes. Ran into something the other day where I was downloading the Hiren's Boot CD ISO, and Windows insisted on deleting it. I couldn't move or rename it fast enough, and ended up having to disable Defender. I then switched to a Linux boot and everything worked fine. Yes, it asked me if it wanted to delete it, but it gave me the choice, and didn't overrule me.
