The new calibre update is a new program and does not have the built up reputation to allow the install without SmartScreen getting involved (if SmartScreen is enabled). If you wait a couple of days, the SmartScreen popup will go away.
To disable SmartScreen, open Settings, click on
Update and Security, click on
Windows Security, click on
Open Windows Defender Security Center, click on
App and Browser control. You will see the SmartScreen settings there. Set the
Check apps and files radio button to Off to disable SmartScreen trying to block installs or Warn if you want to see the popup which should have the
More Info button to get to the second popup with the
Run Anyway button to allow the install.
As usual, if you are using a corporate machine, them nasty IT folks are likely to have blocked your access.
