The Windows warning typically happens when the new installer has not been seen enough yet. Either that, or your unnecessary (IMO) third-party Windows anti-malware is being overly paranoid/aggressive.

There is nothing structurally different about this installer in comparison to previous ones. The Sigil code-source changes compared to the last release are trivial. The main difference is a newer version of Qt6.

Try uninstalling your current version of Sigil and making sure its program directory is empty before installing 2.0.2. No preferences will be lost and hopefully Window's overzealous security "features" should be appeased.

Other options are to install Sigil using winget or Chocolatey. They both use the official Sigil installer, but they've scanned and approved it, so Windows doesn't pop a bunch of silly warnings about "unknown publishers" and "potentially harmful" programs when using their repositories. They both had Sigil 2.0.2 available in less than 24 hours after release.
