My roomie has a new gaming PC and was installing Hass agent..
I'm confident it's not malicious but windows apparently doesn't have the same faith I do..
Also can someone please make a windows tag?

No, because it is not an HA Companion App. It is a third party app.

#

That should be reported to the HassAgent GitHub repository.

It is known. I thought it was fixed in the current beta. But, I see someone reported last month they still have the issue in the beta.

And, agree. It is not a companion app

There isn't a better option for windows though, right?

Better is relative. System Bridge might have what you need.

I guess I mean .. official

No. Nothing official for HA on Windows.

It is fixes in the beta version of the forked hass agent.

You could always use it in a pinned browser tab, that's what I do

Hass.Agent is not a web app or a frontend for HA. You can't just "put it in a pinned browser tab". Hass.Agent is a local Windows app which installs a driver on the Windows kernel so it can do all manner of stuff on behalf of HA requests (run programs, change system settings, et cetera).

#

System Bridge works much the same way as Hass.Agent, although I don't think System Bridge installs a .sys driver on the kernel.
