Windows 10: File Download And Security Warning

Every Time I Go To My Favorites And Click On A Website I Want To Go To I Get A Popup Saying "File Download And Security Warning" How Do You Get Rid Of That Warning ?

Security attributes for Downloaded files

To disable the Open File Security Warning in all browsers or apps that downloads a file from the internet, follow these steps:

• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type inetcpl.cpl and press Enter.
• Adjust the lever to your desired security level (From low to high) and click OK. You can also add trusted sites if your site is not yet on the list.

In addition to the steps above, you can Customize the level of security. Just click Custom level and you can
Enable the app or browser that you want to download files.

Let us know how it goes.

 

File Download security warning

Suddenly when I click on many, but not all, of my favorite Internet shortcuts I see a file download security warning asking me to reconsider (open or cancel). This may relate to my computer having received many Microsoft security updates within the previous
24 hours.

Two days after writing the above: I did system restore to the state before the many updates of 9/14 (3 days ago). The file download security warnings went away. Then Windows Update re-installed updates, and the warnings came back. Microsoft please take
note!

Three weeks after asking my question: If I click on the link KB3185319 that appears in About Internet Explorer in the dropdown tools list at the upper right of the IE window I find that Microsoft acknowledges the file download security warning as a problem
with this update that they know about. I hope they issue a corrective update soon. At first I feared that there really was a new security problem with my machine,, and that was quite upsetting. On the other hand, this update must have a purpose, and either
deleting it, or running a cmd.exe instruction that Microsoft doesn't itself certify, seems much too risky.

Problem Solved: On 10/27/2016 I received three updates from Microsoft and now the File Download Security Warning popups no longer appear. The updates were KB3197954, KB3199986 and KB3201860 (the last was for Adobe Flash Player, so not likely involved).
Thank you Microsoft! But, the problem persists on my one Widows 7 machine that can't be upgraded to Windows 10.

If it's a desktop shortcut your getting the security warning from, try this. I just did this on all my shortcuts that were causing the warning to pop up and it works. R click on the shortcut, click 'PROPERTIES' , Click 'GENERAL' , at the bottom of the
box where it lists 'SECURITY : This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer, " check mark"the 'UNBLOCK' box, click APPLY, and OK.
