Perseus Software not compatible with Windows 11 Smart Control App #143

Description

@Ab2064

The running of Perseus gets blocked by the Smart control App, the security system of Windows 11 (Version 24H2). The Perseus program is deemed "untrustworthy".

The Microsoft Support Website says the following: "There is currently no way to bypass Smart App Control protection for individual apps. You can turn Smart App Control off, or (better yet), contact the developer of the app and encourage them to sign their app with a valid signature.
When a developer creates an app, they are encouraged to "sign" the app using a digital certificate that verifies their identity, that the app is really published by them, and that the app hasn't been tampered with by somebody else after the developer published it. You can think of it a bit like a painter signing a piece of art, except harder to fake.
Signing is one part of what can make an app trusted or untrusted. The other part is experience. Our intelligent cloud-powered security service sees a huge number of apps every day and uses that knowledge to predict if an app is safe or not safe — even apps we've never seen before. However, in some cases, the service is unable to make a confident prediction either way.
If the security service can't make a confident prediction about the app, and the app doesn't have a valid signature, it's considered untrusted."

Is it possible to add this signature, so that Perseus can be used with the Windows 11 Smart App Control activated?
