I just tried the new setup and see what I think is the same thing,
but the original description was munged by non-native English.

I believe this is the "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen" warning.  It
pops up a blue window saying

Windows protected your PC
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from 
starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.  More info.

The only button on this popup says "Don't run".  However, if you
click "More Info", which is underlined, you get additional info

App:       setup-x86_64.exe
Publisher: Unknown publisher

and another button "Run anyway", which allows setup-x86_64 to run.
