2.10.0 on win 11 being tagged as virus
Hi All,
Seems that defender is finding a trojan in the new install:
Coming up as "Trojan:Win32/Znyonm" and related to the legendary upgrade.
False positive, or did someone sabotage the repository?
TIA

There's been an ongoing issue with Dolphin's updater being recognized as a trojan by Window's Defender Cloud AI scanning. The good news is that Microsoft has acknowledged that Dolphin's updater isn't a trojan, however for now they have to manually whitelist our executables. In order to ensure that the monthly builds distributed through our update track aren't deleted by Window's antivirus, we've been verifying that the build we've chosen is whitelisted.

I ran across this as well, what i found odd was the legendary executable distributed with the heroic update is not the same as the release one on the legendary repo for the same version. The file sizes are about 2MB different, the smaller one from the legendary repo does not get flagged.
