Can confirm this behaviour with version 0.24.0 on Win10Pro, update 21H2.

This warning shows because Microsoft doesn’t know that software.
So its not necessarily a bad thing. Just unknown to Windows.
Anytype could do a few things to change that, but since you can skip it for now its not a high priority problem I think.

If you are interested in the “how?” and “why?”
