🛡️ I see an “App isn’t a Microsoft‑verified app” warning – is this harmful to my computer?

No, the “App isn’t a Microsoft-verified app” alert is not harmful to your computer. 🧩

Windows shows this message as a safety recommendation, not because it has detected a virus or damage. It appears when you try to install or run an app that was not downloaded from the Microsoft Store. 🏬

• ✅ Microsoft Store apps are pre‑vetted by Microsoft, so Windows prefers them by default.
• ⚠️ When an app is not Microsoft‑verified, Windows simply warns you so you can double‑check the source.
• 🚫 The alert does not mean the app is malicious; it only means Microsoft hasn’t reviewed it.

As long as you download software from trusted, reputable sources (official websites, known vendors, etc.), installing and running these apps is generally safe despite the warning. 👍
