Generally whenever something is downloaded in large number of iles, it is blocked by Windows. It is easy to unblock a single file manually, by right clicking on the item, select Properties then unblock.


When you more than one file that needs to be unlocked which looks something like this:


The easiest fix is by starting up PowerShell as a standard user, then run the following:


dir "C:\PathLocationOfItems" -Recurse | Unblock-File



Once that script has been executed, re-open the properties of each of the files and has been updated.
