Did you use elevated privileges for the installation?  Windows TeX Live
installation does not need elevated privileges.

You may want to read Section 1.4 Security considerations
<https://tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-60001.4> and
proceed to install GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) (without using tlmgr).  Gpg4win
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gpg4win> is widely used, or
you can install GnuPG command-line tools for Windows from Msys2 or Cygwin64
or in a WSL linux distribution (if you have WSL you may find that TeX Live
in WSL is superior to the Windows CTAN version).

In addition to the current install-tl-windows.exe, CTAN mirrors should
provide install-tl-windows.exe.sha512 and install-tl-windows.exe.sha512.asc
needed to verify downloads using GnuPG.

For those who do run Windows, here's the URL for the antivirus you're using.

Checking downloads with GnuPG requires non-trivial extra work, but that is
the reality of the
internet we have today.
