A few people were asking what to do, because they had no such button, when they pressed "More info" like it is explained here https://www.faforever.com/play under "1 - Download and install FAF"

To get the button, the SmartScreen option must be changed in the OS:

and even that is not always working, sometimes there are some tighter security settings with Windows Defender.

More information here: https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/fix-no-run-anyway-option-on-smartscreen-windows-10/

The step needs a more detailed version of how to solve the above issue for someone who is not familiar with it.

the "/play" is not that user-friendly and should be refactored from scratch.
i could add that image and a new description and scram it into the page, but the better solution would be cleaning up the "/play" and link to a faq/help (wordpress), so you can change them easily.
