Blackned: Digitalisation of Armed Forces (blackned.de)

For example, try downloading the Windows Calculator twice, you will see that the files have different hashes (It may be necessary to close the browser and delete all browsing data in-between):

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfhvn5

For example, I get these two hashes for the "same" installer downloaded there:

73D31DE1B708204FC97D77EFEC7C82EA9FEDF03F 6F3BC3056F30566D0E1A1F4E268976C64C847B5A

And here two different scans for the "same" installer.

Why is MS doing this? It seems this creates unnecessary work for Virus Checkers. It also seems to be a data protection issue.

Probably. Much more worries me that users can not reliably share their experience with the software.

I am now using https://qalculate.github.io/ as alternative. Planning to switch back to Linux anyway.
