    The file you downloaded seems to be a PUA/PUP, as reported by the Malwarebytes engine.

    That's why Microsoft Defender SmartScreen has blocked it. If you still need the file, choose to keep it by tapping … in the downloads flyout, choosing Keep, and then choosing Keep anyway in the dialog that appears.

    The scanning by Microsoft Defender SmartScreen can be turned off, although it's not recommended to do so. This article should help.

    Hi steelersjourney, This is Ramesh.

    You can add a file, folder, file type, or process to Microsoft Defender exclusions. However, you cannot add a website because Defender doesn't scan websites.

    If Defender is blocking downloads, please post a screenshot of the dialog and the source URL. You may also check VirusTotal.com to see if the URL you're using to download the file is safe.
