WINDOWS SMARTSCREEN · FILE VERIFICATION

A warning is a reason
to verify.

The current installer is not digitally code-signed, so Windows may show “Unknown publisher” or an unrecognized-app warning. Verify the official source and published SHA-256 before deciding what to do.

Why the warning can appear

SmartScreen checks downloaded applications against Microsoft reputation and safety signals. This release does not have an Authenticode publisher signature, so Windows cannot display a verified publisher identity and may show “Unknown publisher.” A generic “unrecognized app” message is different from a named malware detection, but both should be handled carefully.

Current signing status: the installer is not digitally signed. We state that directly instead of asking you to assume a publisher identity that Windows cannot verify. A matching hash confirms exact bytes; it does not prove publisher identity, code quality or safety.
Verify the exact release. The official source, filename and SHA-256 checksum should all match the details below. If any of them differs, stop and delete the file.

Check before deciding

  1. Confirm the download came from crazikktweaks.com or the official get.higherfps.com URL linked by our site.
  2. Check that the filename is crazikktweaks-app-2.0.4-setup.exe.
  3. Run PowerShell's SHA-256 check shown below.
  4. Compare every character with the value on the official release page.
  5. If the source or hash is different, stop and delete the file.

What we recommend

Keep Microsoft Defender and Windows updates enabled while downloading and verifying the installer. Do not disable antivirus globally, do not copy an installer from file-sharing sites and do not rely on screenshots of a hash. Unreal compatibility trade-offs happen only after an informed product choice and are never a reason to bypass a specific installer detection. If Defender reports a named malware detection rather than a generic reputation warning, stop and send the exact detection name, app version and download URL to [email protected].
