I Created Excel exe with XLS Padlock Version 2024.3 and use EXE Code signing.
Create Standalone exe. Upload on Gdrive as Zip
Once I download the exact exe file removed by Windows 11 antivirus
Screenshot attached.
I ran into a similar problem and resolved it two different ways, one which seems to have disappeared.
(1) First method
Clicked on “More info” button below the warning message. The following should be displayed:
Confirmed the App and Publisher were as displayed. Clicked “Run anyway” to run the program. The error no longer appeared.
(2) Second method
Submitted the .exe file as a .zip to Microsoft and they modified their anti-virus tables in a couple of days to permit the program. Don’t seem to be able to get back to this process anymore 
Your EXE file is removed even if code signed?
Anyway, it’s still possible to send your files to Microsoft, if you have a Microsoft account (you have one if you have recent Windows versions) for the follow-up.

Choose False positive.
I’m experiencing this issue so I’ve just clicked on your link, selected app developer but get the following message:
am I doing something stupid - I haven’t attached any files at this point so not sure what it is refering to when it says “This application is not published by Microsoft or your organisation.”
Thanks in advance
Here is the link for your analysis:
facing issue and Google chrome also block for upload and download.

Have you got response from Microsoft about this false positive?
No, not yet I have not received any feedback from Microsoft.
We’ll soon offer a new option in XLS Padlock: Azure Trusted Signing. For 10USD per month, it will be possible to have code signing for all EXE files you make. This will fix this false positive issue without having to wait from the antivirus correction from Microsoft.
Thanks for your suggestions
In that case sorry to take services from XLS Padlock. Looking for another alternative.
Will develop VSTO base application.
You also have this “free” alternative: you can, In XLS Padlock, choose the EXE + Application XPLAPP Bundle option under “Application Packaging Option.” This will generate two files: an EXE file and a separate .xplapp data file. The EXE file is pre-signed by us, which increases its trustworthiness with Windows, antivirus programs and reduces false positive detections.
Distribute your EXE and .xplapp files together, ensuring both are in the same directory, and consider packaging them into a ZIP archive or installer for easier distribution.
Your EXE file seems to have been whitelisted by Microsoft because it is no more detected by Google or Defender:
