Description

A few people were asking what to do, because they had no such button, when they pressed "More info" like it is explained here https://www.faforever.com/play under "1 - Download and install FAF"

To get the button, the SmartScreen option must be changed in the OS:

and even that is not always working, sometimes there are some tighter security settings with Windows Defender.

The step needs a more detailed version of how to solve the above issue for someone who is not familiar with it.
