This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer?

[Windows Central Question]

"this file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer"

well, my problem is i am downloading music from the website "bandcamp". i download music, extract the file, and then have to "unblock" it so i can get the files onto itunes. i never used to have to waste time "unblocking" every music file on my old windows 7. now what i want to do is disable this feature completely. i understand you can do this with the group policy editor but i do not have that as i only have windows home. is there anyway i can disable this feature without using group policy? please if someone could help me this has put me in an unbelievable stress as i have a lot of music to download that ive brought and do not want to have to unblock each one individually.

You can enable Group Policy Editor in Home Edition: https://www.itechtics.com/enable-gpedit-windows-10-home/

Another tactic may be to always download those files to a certain folder... Then "whitelist" that location in your AV.
