When I try to run AutoHotkey64.exe (Version 2.0.12) without setup, I get the following error.
How come? With the old version 1, opening the exe would open the guide (CHM file). I would also try installation, but in the past the ahk2exe module had triggered the antivirus. It was probably a false positive, but this had created problems since the computer is in my management but not owned by me. So I would not want to take that risk and was trying to use the AutoHotkey64.exe without running the setup.Windows protected your PC
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.
