The security settings on a Windows PC may prevent unknown apps from being downloaded on to your computer. To allow the download, you may need to temporarily change your settings:

  1. Search for Windows Security in the Start menu (Windows 10) or select Settings, then Privacy & Security and Windows Security (Windows 11)
  2. Select App & Browser Control and click on the Reputation-based protection settings link.
  3. Under Potentially unwanted app blocking untick Block downloads (Windows 10) or turn off SmartScreen and Potentially unwanted app blocking (Windows 11)
  4. Download EndNote then immediately restore the security settings.
