Microsoft Partner Centre application rejected for reasons addressed

My Microsoft Partner Centre application has been rejected for two reasons I have addressed several times.

I contacted Support (Partners at Microsoft), and was told I needed to raise a ticket. I did so 18 days ago (the support confirmation email I received quoted an ETA of '8': I don't know whether this is hours or days).

Here are the two items that are failing my application:

**"10.2.10 Security A security prompt with the message, "Windows Protected Your PC. Microsoft Defender Smartscreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app may put your PC at risk" was displayed during installation of the x64 package (separate from any UAC prompt). Your product must not compromise the security of users, the Store, or a related system, nor cause that security to be called into question.

If you believe the Smartscreen warning is a false positive then please perform the following actions to expedite resolution of the issue.

Download the file using Microsoft Edge browser.
When informed that the download was blocked by Smartscreen select the blocked file and click "Report this file as safe | I am the owner or representative of this website and I want to report an incorrect warning about it "
Fill out and submit the form. You will receive an email confirming receipt of your report.
24 hours after sending the report confirm that the file no longer displays a Smartscreen warning before resubmitting the product for certification."**

I've followed these instructions several times; no form comes up/nothing happens when I click the button Report this file as safe.

"10.2.9.2 Security - Package Submissions Win32 products must install silently. For more details see the Installer parameters section at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/publish/msiexe/provide-package-details"

It does install silently using the command provided: '"myapp.exe" /SILENT' (though mine is a single user app that won't be loaded using a silent install).

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.

Regards,

Richard
