Windows 10: Problems using apps not made by Microsoft

I had noticed any apps I DL and try to install a window will pop up and say this app was not approved by MS and it then offers an option look in MS app store for approved app which for me usually is never successful even with their own apps. However, I found a way to get around their restriction by going into the app's properties and look for a box that allows you to install, it will say "Unblock" and it is not offered when you first install such apps. I always scan apps even if known with my virus scanner prior to installing. I find this frustrating at times. You cannot just open a file under
