Windows 10: Block Web Browsers Executing downloaded files

hi guys,


im looking for a way to stop a user downloading a exe and Opening it from the web browser.

We are already using software security policies to stop execution from the temp folders etc but is there any other steps we could put in place?

:)

 

Downloaded files disappear


When you download a file through any browser, there's an option somewhere to 'Open Containing Folder.'

In Windows, to find a file you have downloaded...

1. Open your personal folder by clicking the Start button and then clicking your user name at the top of the Start menu's right pane.
   
2. Double-click one of the following folders:
   
   • Downloads
     
   • Documents
     
   • Pictures
     
   • Videos
     
   • Music

If you do not see the file you are looking for, but know its file name, you can search for it by following these steps:
To search for a file you have downloaded...

1. Click the Start button
   
2. Type all or part of the file name into the Search box.
   The file you are looking for will appear in the list of results.

HxTsr.exe blocked attempting to target file settings.dat

Hello,

We would like to know more information about your concern so we can better assist you.

• Have you made any changes prior to this issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• What specific error message are you getting?

HxTsr.exe is a type of EXE file associated with Windows 10 Operating System developed by Microsoft for Windows Operating System. The latest known version of HxTsr.exe is 16.0.6002.4225, which was produced for Windows.

EXE ("executable") files, such as HxTsr.exe, are files that contain step-by-step instructions that a computer follows to carry out a function. When you "double-click" an EXE file, your computer automatically executes these instructions designed by a software
developer (Microsoft Corporation) to run a program (eg. Windows 10 Operating System) on your PC.

Every software application on your PC uses an executable file like word processor, web browser, spreadsheet program, etc. making it one of the most useful kinds of files in the Windows operating system. Without executable files like HxTsr.exe, you would
not be able to use any programs on your PC.

We look forward to your reply.
