    The latest versions enable SmartScreen again when you uninstall kmspico.

    In [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] change "off" to ""on"

    and in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System] delete the key “EnableSmartScreen”. This key is not present in a clean install.



    Restart.

    After deinstalling KMSPico my SmartScreen is activated. I just can't change the settings, they are grayed out for changing by sysadmin only. I assume this is the standard setting, but I'm not sure.

    Hello

    the solution

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer]
    "SmartScreenEnabled" = RequireAdmin

    You must then remove the key:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows \ System]
    "EnableSmartScreen" = dword: 00000000

    Enjoy
