So, in the past, when a Windows 11 user downloaded files off the Internet, Windows flag the file as unsafe. Okay, fine. So, now the user is burdened with the task of right-clicking the file in the File Explorer and checking "Unblock". Okay, a PITA but easy enough. Well, it seems the SmartApp is becoming more agressive. It's still bocking files I download from the Internet. But today I tried right-clicking the shortcut and the file it blocking so that I could "Unblock" the unsafe file. So, that I could, in turn, run the file on my system.
I could not find this option to "Unblock" the file. So, I literally had to **shut off** the SmartApp now so I can accomplish my goals. Is the behavior of the SmartApp changing in the most recent updates. Or am I just missing something somewhere?
