Does anyone know if it's even possible to build an executable for Windows using e.g. Rust (though this might apply to other langs), without buying a signing certificate, and have it runnable by users without false positive virus/trojan warnings (which, actually, make it effectively impossible for users to run).

I did a lot of searching and found a huge number of developers reporting this problem, but actually no solutions. Is it just impossible to distribute binaries as an independent developer? Is it just isolated to Rust and maybe Go etc? Or ...? Anyone experienced this and found a way round it?

stop using rust

if it's pure go, there's no need to do any bullshit, it makes .exe files... WOW64 or WIN32 at your choice

um, wait, you mean "for distribution on gay homo windows store?

cos nothing is stopping anyone from building .exe files and/or even building installers to place them into neat folders in a user's directory

all the permission required is

"administrator"
