    Error when trying to download anything


    When I try to download anything, I get the following error:
    "Was blocked because this type of file can harm your device?
    I tried down loading files from sites that I downloaded from, and I get the same error.
    This started today. Yesterday it was fine.

    Thanks

    :)

    KB4025339 Fails Install 0x80070564

    Thanks
    I am trying Eagle 51's suggestions now. Windows Update troubleshooter found a bunch of errors and fixed all but one.The update is trying to download KB4025339 again. I'll see what happens. At step one troubleshooter finishes with one error unresolved "Potential Windows Update Database Error Detected-Not Fixed". Windows update stalled at 0%.

    At step 2 same troubleshooter error. The KB finished a new download failed to install.
    Did step 3 KB has downloaded but fails to install.

    If Eagle's suggestion doesn't work I'll try EdTittel's suggestion

    Tried bothe Eagle & Ed 's suggestions - do not work. Anyone else?

    I have noticed that the latest update for my nvidia drivers has failed to update. Wondering about that!

    Windows Store Error when downloading - Code: 0x803FB107

    Hi,

    Error code 0x803FB107 may occur for the following reasons:

    • Network interruption while downloading the game.
    • Not enough space on the device for the game.
    • The device doesn't meet game requirements.
