    "These files might be harmful to your computer" - between local disks


    I have all settings made to avoid this massive annoyance thanks to microsoft tech support and yet I still get this massively annoying annoyance. Is there a way to completely disable any and all security settings so I can stop wasting time with this lunacy? I'm not a child so it seems reasonable that I should be allowed the ability to use the computer as an adult with above average IQ.

    :)

    Local disk: "These files might be harmful to your computer"

    When moving or copying files from my local harddisk, I get the message:

    This happens when I move or copy files on the drive (D"These files might be harmful to your computer" - between local disks :) itself, or when I move/copy files from that drive to any another drive on my pc. All the drives are local installed in my case and connected with sata cables.

    How can I disable or fix this pop-up message?

    I am running: Windows 10, Version 1511,Os Build 10586.164, It's my own build machine. (I have seen a lot of similar posts, but in my case I am not transferring files over the internet)

    Update

    It has been a while I posted this question, and I still have this problem. I tried the suggestion from @manjesh23, but this did not work.
