    is it possible for a .HTML file to execute itself?


    I was downloading a mod for a game and upon clicking download I clicked on the wrong link (yeah silly me), it downloaded some sort of .HTML file but Windows Defender instantly removed it. Is there a possible chance I just got infected?

    Is it possible to disable file execution from drag and drop

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I regret the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you.



    Please share the details.


    • Do you see any error code or error message on the screen?


    I suggest you to check if you can copy or paste the same files. Follow the below steps.

    • Check if you can copy and paste.
    • Right click on the file select copy and paste the file in the drop box.
    Or you can also use the following step:

    • Select the file press Ctrl + C.
    • Go to the drop box press Ctrl + V.
    If it is working fine, I suggest you to run an SFC scan and check if there are any corrupted files in the system causing the issue.

    Method 1: Run SFC Scan

    Click on the below link and follow the procedure to perform a SFC Scan.

    System file check (SFC) Scan and Repair System Files & DISM to fix things SFC cannot

    Check if it helps.



    If the issue persists, as a work around, download and install the latest display drivers from your computer manufacturer website and check if it resolves the issue.



    Please keep us posted on the issue. We will be happy to assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.

    is it possible for a .HTML file to execute itself?

    How .html > .doc

    To save the web page as HTML, follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on the web page that you want to save as HTML.
    • The Save As dialog window appears. Select Web Page, Complete in the Save as type dropdown.
    • The web page is now saved as a set of HTML file.

    Do update us on how it goes.
