Windows 10: When selecting and right clicking more than 16 files on a mapped network drive, I get a...

I have my NAS network drive mapped on drive Z:


When I select 16 files or less and right-click, everything is normal.

When I select 17 files or more and right-click, I get a popup titled "Windows Security" with this text:

"Your Internet Security settings blocked one or more files from being opened. Do you want to open these files anyway?"

If I click OK, the popup disappears and the right-click menu opens.

I work with a lot of files on this network drive very often, so this is incredibly disruptive.


I have tried all the solutions I could find on the internet, none of them have worked so far.

I have tried:

- Resetting the Internet Explorer settings

- Setting all security levels to "Low" in Internet Explorer Security Options

- Going to Internet Explorer Security Options, choosing Custom Options, and setting all the "Launching applications and unsafe files" fields to "Prompt"

- Replacing the Internet Settings registry folder by a copy from a fresh Administrator user account

- Adding the IP address of the NAS to the "Local Intranet" hosts list in Internet Explorer Security Options

- Rebooting after doing all the above things


This is a brand new computer. I just installed Windows 10 Home today.


Does anyone know how to permanently disable this popup?



Without Enabling "Launch Application and Unsafe Files" in Internet Sites- Internet Options?

Trouble Mapping Network Drive

I have a WD NAS drive connected to my router and have mapped it on three of my computers. I just setup another laptop with Windows 10 and have updated it to 1809 and when I tired Mapping a network drive nothing is displayed in the browse window except the
computer I am currently using. The drive is shown under network locations in File Explorer but not when you select map network drive and browse. I right clicked on the drive and selected properties and noted the IP address and went back into Map network drive
but instead of selecting browse I entered the IP address but it still does not map the drive. The strange part is if I go to any of the computers that already has the network drive mapped and select Map network drive and select browse none of those computers
show the drive either but you can select the mapped drive in the drive list in file explorer and it works just fine.

I have read several articles both here and elsewhere and tried the suggestions but nothing works. Network discovery is turned on as is file sharing and also checked if all three boxes under SMB file sharing support in Windows features were also checked and
they are. I have mapped several computers to several different drives over the years and anytime the drive was not listed it was always easy to go into Network Sharing Centre and find the problem but everything seems to be as it should so would appreciate
if someone can suggest something I may have overlooked.

Thank you

 

Windows security message when I select more than 16 files on mapped drive and right click

This is annoying as it adds one more step when I want to move some files.

I have a mapped drive to my NAS. When I select more than 16 files/folders and right mouse click to bring up the context menu I get a Windows Security message "Opening these files might be harmful to your computer. Your Internet security settings blocked
one or more files from being opened."

The odd thing is that there is no message when 16 or less files/folders are selected or if the operation (i.e. copy) is done via the ribbon menu. It doesn't matter what type of file is selected. I have a clean install of Windows 10 Pro. This is also happening
to a Surface 3 Pro upgraded from Windows 8.1 Pro.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks.
