Summary
Track antivirus and SmartScreen false-positive handling for Switchify PC releases.
Context
Switchify PC is a signed Windows accessibility companion app that intentionally uses desktop input, local networking/Bluetooth helpers, and installer/update behavior. Those capabilities can trigger heuristic detections or reputation warnings even when the release is legitimate.
Scope
- Identify which vendors flag the installer or release URL.
- Submit false-positive reports to affected vendors.
- Track submission IDs and outcomes.
- Document repeatable submission steps for future releases.
- Consider whether release notes or download docs should explain signing, hashes, and safe download verification.

Notes
Microsoft's public submission portal may require interactive sign-in/captcha and may reject the full installer because it is larger than the listed upload limit. If that happens, submit the SHA256 and GitHub release download URL through the available support/submission path.
