SmartScreen swore - received a Code Singning certificate, signed the program. Why does SmartScreen still swear?

Received a Code Signing - StartSSL certificate for $60. I had to wait for a letter by mail for 19 days - finally, I waited.
I figured out how to create a pfx file and how to sign a program with it (and not just sign it, but even using a timestamp).
But SmartScreen still does not allow users to download the program - the same message appears "The program has protected your computer."
Although, for the sake of justice, now if the user clicks "Read more" and then agrees - now the second message comes out already normal - instead of "Allow to run a program from an unknown publisher" now "Publisher: xxx - allow launch?"
But how do you get rid of the "Windows has protected your computer" message? It turns out that Windows even swears at signed programs!

What Code Signing certificate do I need to get to sign code? - they ALREADY wrote to you there that the certificate of an obscure office will not be considered trusted. Especially if any crappy software can get a similar certificate.

So like StartCom (StartSSL) is not an obscure company. At the very least, they checked me very seriously before issuing a certificate. Even by mail, I had to wait 3 weeks before I received it, scans of phone bills, passports, etc. were not enough.
How then is the StartSSL certificate better than a regular self-signed certificate?
And how to prove that you are not a camel (that the software is not crappy)?
