Running the NPE 6.0 executable for the 1st run, WD Smart Screen nabbed the file. I'm reporting this NOT as a bug but rather that in some cases users may see this same instance on their machines as well. 

NPE 6.0 BETA

Dell 15-5555 laptop / Microsoft Surface Pro 3 *Both devices have settings sync'd and exhibited the same behavior

Windows 10 Professional x64 version 20H2, 19042.804 - Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0 * BOTH devices tested

Initial program run - No error or bug, informational ONLY
