    How to get Windows Security to stop automatically blocking downloaded files?


    Every time I download a file for school pptx, pdf, docx. Windows will automatically block the file because it's 'come from another computer and might be blocked to protect the computer'. Usually I have to go into Properties select Unblock to access the file. Is there anyway I can stop Windows from automatically blocking the files? It's rather annoying having to manually do it. I have Windows 11 and using Bitdefender as my antivirus, although I doubt it's a problem with my antivirus as I've turned it off, uninstalled it and the problem still persists, so i assume it's a Windows thing.

    :)

    OneDrive not blocking apps from downloading files with Files on Demand

    Hello

    To save space on laptop I use Files on Demand feature in OneDrive. But every time as I am running some other app, like backup software or some photoediting software like ACDSee, file what are on OneDrive cloud get downloaded. To stop this I try to block
    the app to stop automatic file downloads. The problem is the app is not getting blocked not from OneDrive Block App feature, name of the blocked app is not appearing in Settings>Privacy>Automatic file downloads blocked app list. Also changes in registry then
    changing HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Spftware\Policies\Microsoft\Cloudfiles\BlockedApps DWORD value Enabled data to 1 (0 is allowing) is not changing anything and the App still downloads files.

    Help! How to get Windows Security to stop automatically blocking downloaded files? :)
