Disable SmartScreen Windows Insider

When I try to open a file without the specified publisher, this kind of window appears

I tried to disable this check using the standard tools and through the Group Policy Editor. But the system does not let me turn it off.ImageImage

I'm sorry that I did not translate the screenshots at once, the problem is that I can not select the "turn off" option in the Windows settings.
On the first screenshot you can see that in the smart screencon settings "check app and files" tick is on the "turn off", but in fact I can not change it. The check still happens.

Image

On the second you can see the Group Policy Editor and 2 choices, instead of 3, there is no "disable" option.

This is how it looks in Google search result. How you can see i cant turn off it via GP.

It started when I started using an insider, this window appears when I try to open any of my Word or torrent files (because all of them dont have official publisher). I trust the sites where I download them, because this message is superfluous

Thank you for your quick response, I hope the information enclosed and the translation is enough for you to help me.

Not positive that this is the setting you need as I can't understand the language in the screenshots but if you click on the 3 dots in right corner of Edge > Settings > Advanced Settings > Scroll to the bottom > you can turn off Smart Screen

In that case try going to Control Panel and pick Internet Options > Advanced > last option at the top right and unchecking relevant boxes in the bottom quarter of the options. Then click Apply and OK and see if that helps
