I tried installing the latest Twilio CLI (v5.22.12) on Windows 11, but:

  • Windows Defender flagged the twilio-5.22.12.exe as a virus.
  • Chocolatey and Scoop installation failed.
  • I successfully installed an older version, but the latest one is blocked.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Download twilio-5.22.12.exe from GitHub.
  2. Attempt to install it on Windows.
  3. Windows Defender flags it as a virus.

I installed the package on my Windows 11 system and saw no such message and also run a custom scan for the package. Can you give me the system configurations?
