Many users have been reporting issues with the SmartScreen program when trying to launch built-in Microsoft applications like Alarm, Photos, Maps, Mail, etc. An error message reading ‘Windows SmartScreen can’t be reached right now’ is displayed with the option to Run the application anyway or not. The said error is primarily caused due to a poor or no internet connection. Other reasons that may prompt the issue include misconfigured security settings, SmartScreen has been disabled by either the user or a recently installed malware application, interference from proxy servers, SmartScreen is down for maintenance, etc.
With a rise in the number of phishing and virus attacks occurring via the internet, Microsoft had to step up its game and safeguard its users from falling prey to any such web-based attack.

The application stops you from visiting malicious websites and downloading any suspicious files or applications from the internet. SmartScreen when sure about the malicious nature of something, blocks it entirely, and when not sure about an application, will display a warning message and give you the choice to either continue or not.
The Windows SmartScreen Can’t be reached issue is an easy one to fix and all the potential solutions for the same have been discussed in this article.
