Windows 10: My Win10 laptop won't let me open any files off external drives or download anything...

So the other day I had to do a system restore point in my laptop because it wasn't booting up properly, but after it finished the restoration I now find that I can't download anything or open any files on external drives.


If I try to click Save As nothing happens, I don't get the pop up window for my save destination folder, and when I try to open up my documents folder to access my USB drive it just loads that big green bar at the top of my doc window and it keeps loading until it crashes...I tried this a few times but nothing happens...


I can't even open anything in Photoshop either. If I try to open a file it just freezes up on me, so I think there is something wrong with my computer's settings...I've been using this laptop for five years and this is the first time this ever happened to me...do I need to clear out my cache or something?


Any help would be really appreciated...

Office files doesn´t open after Win10 update

Solved this problem on my own.
Some of files were marked "from another computer and blocked for security"
Just tap allow and everything works fine.
