    Can anybody guide me how to unblock files in Windows 10 displaying error message as

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

    I am using Windows 10 and downloaded my files from a gmail attachment sent by one of my office colleague.

    To unblock your files you need to perform few manual steps.

    Locate your file. Right Click on it and you will see Properties option.

    unlock files came from another computer

    Go to Properties and you will see a Unblock option. Click on it and press apply button.

    And your files will be unblocked.

    Yes the option suggested above will work for sure. But suppose if you have a bunch of files say 30 to 40 in number then manual option will be a pain.

    To unblock files in bulk or batch, you can try this free utility from http://www.systoolsgroup.com/unblocker/

    It will quickly unblock all files showing error message as “This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer”
