Kdenlive downloading problem?

[foxleybob]

i'm trying to download Kdenlive to edit my movies etc.
i can't seem to do it.
I google Kdenlive download, > then live on download,> then get a window saying...

"The app you're trying to install isn't a Microsoft -verified app"

Can anyone here advise me on how to download it, please?

I just downloaded it without any problems from this link on VideoHelp website

https://www.videohelp.com/software/Kdenlive

I haven't installed it because I don't need it.

TBF. I can also download it, but that's when the trouble starts, it doesn't show a shortcut icon on the desktop for me to get into it.
I'm running Windows 10, not sure if that might be the problem (It shouldn't be should it?).

It might be this,
Windows 10 settings/apps

Thank you, Dave, I have already set this up. So not that then

OK, I've decided to use "Open shot" for now, until I can get around the problem of loading Kdenlive.
I guess it'll give me a bit of experience for when I can actually use KDL or whatever
Thanks all

Then it may be your anti-virus interfering with the download. The default setting of most A/V
is to assume the user is not capable of using his judgement, so it decides for you.
(some variation of "reputational" status based on a files rarity)

Assuming the setup file is visible in your downloads folder, have you tried right clicking it and running as administrator?
Have you changed anything related to UAC ?

I only use Windows Defender and Malwarebytes but not any other antivirus

If you install the Portable (=STANDALONE) version you will have to look for the folder where the program is "unzipped" manually and create a shortcut by yourself

This is the official download site..
https://kdenlive.org/en/download/

And this is the direct link to the "normal" installer for the last version (from the official site).. https://download.kde.org/stable/kdenlive/24.08/windows/kdenlive-24.08.1.exe

Launching that file should create all shortcuts and start menu entries for you.. at the end of the installation (never tried myself, I've always used the Portable = STANDALONE version).

Erm.
I tried the stand alone link/box, and got a folder on the desktop with a folder containing these.......
bin,> lib>, share,> licence then setup
so I assumed it would be setup, which I clicked on, but nothing showed.

Hope you or anyone can make sense of that?

Yes. I know, I'm a dummy sorry.

If you downloaded/unzipped the standalone version .. you have to create a shortcut on your desktop for the file "kdenlive.exe" that you will find in the bin folder

anyway.. the installer version is the one that does everything (creating desktop shortcuts and menu entries) for you..
"Standalone" is for people who exactly know what they're doing...
