Unsigned EXE / Three careful moves
Download. Verify. Install without disabling protection.
Keep Microsoft Defender SmartScreen enabled. Confirm the official source and exact checksum, then use the warning dialog only for this verified PractiPix test package.
Download it only from PractiPix and verify SHA-256 61d2467e722e01b01a94e306bae39b61df54af05a23d05df24e582ffe561ce3d before opening it. Do not disable SmartScreen or antivirus protection. If the checksum differs, delete the file and contact support.

Download the Windows x64 test package
Open the PractiPix Download page on the Windows computer and choose the Windows x64 test preview. Save PractiPix-win64-qtifw.exe, approximately 91 MB.
Use only the file delivered by the official PractiPix website. A browser warning can appear because the package is new and currently unsigned; that warning is not a reason to turn browser or Windows protection off.
Leave the file in Downloads until its checksum has been verified.

Keep the downloaded file intact until verification
02Verify
Confirm the package with PowerShell
Open PowerShell and run Get-FileHash "$HOME\Downloads\PractiPix-win64-qtifw.exe" -Algorithm SHA256.
The result must be 61D2467E722E01B01A94E306BAE39B61DF54AF05A23D05DF24E582FFE561CE3D. Letter case does not matter; every character does.
If the result is different, do not run the installer. Delete it, download a fresh copy from PractiPix, and contact support if the mismatch remains.
If Downloads is elsewhereType Get-FileHash followed by a space, then drag the EXE from File Explorer into the PowerShell window and add -Algorithm SHA256.
Get-FileHash "$HOME\Downloads\PractiPix-win64-qtifw.exe" -Algorithm SHA256Algorithm HashSHA256 61D2467E722E01B01A94E306BAE39B61DF54AF05A23D05DF24E582FFE561CE3D

03Install
Review SmartScreen, then use the Qt installer
Double-click the verified EXE. Because this testing package is unsigned, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may display Windows protected your PC. Confirm the app name and official source again; if the dialog offers the testing route, choose More info and then Run anyway.
Follow the PractiPix setup wizard, keep the suggested install location unless your test requires another path, and launch PractiPix when setup finishes.
Do not disable SmartScreen, Microsoft Defender, or another antivirus product. A managed work computer may block unsigned applications by policy; in that case, use a permitted test machine or ask its administrator.
If no run option appearsStop rather than weakening Windows security. The computer may enforce Smart App Control or an organization policy that does not allow unsigned test software.
Don’t runMore info
Keep Windows protection enabled throughout testing
Installer still blocked?
Send the Windows details that identify the block.
Tell support the Windows version, whether the computer is x64, the browser used, the warning text, and whether the SHA-256 matched before launch.
