No more "Windows Protected Your PC when installing Controller Service"

With a default Windows install, or in my case, the Aya Neo, when installing new or updates of Controller Service windows blocks the install with a pop up. This is known as Windows SmartScreen which shows a warning when installing or running unsigned executable's.

After digging around for a bit, aside from disabling this protection in Windows, the better(?) option would be to have Windows/Microsoft know about Controller Service by providing it "Signed". Then it gets an improved reputation factor over time...
