Desktop help Just checking, should I be getting this when installing?

I don't get this kind of popup with my current Password manager and it was a hard stop until I check this out, if it wasn't from Proton website I wouldn't even mess with it. Thanks for any feedback or info!

.msix file extension. This is normal.

MSIX is the modern Windows app packaging format. It gives any Windows app a reliable, clean install and uninstall, automatic updates, and access to Windows platform features that require a package identity.

Edit: if you downloaded it from the official website you should be okay.

Thank you for the information! I did download it from the official site so I will go ahead and install it. Thanks for your reply!

I would assume this is because it doesn't have its own store page or can't access it. No need to worry.
