    Nah I use both pretty regularly and I’m fairly sure macOS still makes you do the “nope sorry, press ok, go into system settings, security panel, become admin and click trust this unknown publisher” thing

    Windows still just does the same safescreen thing they’ve been doing for ages now: “windows stopped this unknown thing from running, wanna run it anyway?”

      Just like I have to go into windows defender settings and add exclusions (trust) to anything it deems suspicious

        That is only when it was flagged as malware.

        Defender is usually really great at defining malware and has little false positives. So you better watch out if you have to de-quarantine it.

      It’s been a year since I had to support Apple devices, but IIRC if you hold command, right click, and choose Run, it should add the executable to the trusted apps list.
