If you experience issues downloading `cloudflared` on Windows, first check your internet connection and browser settings. Sometimes, antivirus software or Windows SmartScreen may block or quarantine executable files; temporarily disabling them (with caution and after verifying the download source) might resolve the issue. If the file is corrupted, delete the incomplete download and try again. Using a different browser or ensuring adequate disk space can also help. Always ensure you are downloading from the official GitHub releases page.
