FIS - Windows protect your PC
Created
Pinned
FIS-Desktop.2425.1 produces a windows 'protect your PC alert' when attempting to run for the first time.
The workaround for this issue is to open the Properties for the unzipped executable named "ESFA.DC.ILR.Desktop.WPF.exe", then select "Unblock" on the General tab.
The Technical team are expecting to resolve this issue with Microsoft within the next few weeks.

SQL Server compatibility
FIS-Desktop.2425.1 and future versions are only compatible with SQL Server 2019 and upwards. SQL 2014 reached its end of life support from Microsoft in July 2024 and hence is no longer secure for use with FIS.
