Windows 10: Win 10 Home locking me out of files

I'm getting a message that Win 10 is preventing me from opening files due to potentially unwanted virus. I have added an exclusion (which doesn't show but is listed in the registry) for the drive. I'm on Win 10 home so there is not group policy to change. This is happening in both versions of Win 10 drives I have on my computer. How do I deal with this? I can't figure a workaround. Build is 19041.804 Updates are paused. Thanks, Reid

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
