Description:

When a folder sent as a ZIP file is extracted, it's likely all of the files will be blocked by Windows.  This prevents the files from functioning properly. 

 

You can right-click each file, select PROPERTIES then GENERAL then click the UNBLOCK checkbox, however this may be time consuming if many files are blocked.

 

This method will describe how to unblock many files at once.  

Solutions:

Cause:

Using Powershell, we'll run a script to unblock all the files and sub folder files
Solution:

In the folder with the blocked files, right-click any clear area of the window, as indicated by the X below

 

 

In the dialog window, select Open PowerShell window here

Alternatively, you can right-click the area and select Open in Terminal

Copy and paste this text at the end of the path information;

dir -Recurse | Unblock-File

Then press <ENTER>

 

All files in the folder will now be unblocked.  Type EXIT <enter> to close PowerShell.
