I noticed since the upgrade, the following happens:

  1. I download a zip file from the internet to the local downloads folder
  2. I right click > properties > unblock
  3. I move the file to a network share
  4. I right click the file. Now I get the warning that the file might be harmful as if the file was still blocked. I cannot unblock the file. The option is missing
  5. I unzip the file
  6. Now every unzipped file show as blocked
  7. Now I have to use PowerShell to unblock the folder recursively (Get-ChildItem -Path 'X:\...' -Recurse | Unblock-File

This should not happen I believe. Why does the file get re-blocked?
