I have looked at my virus software and couldn't see any details about why downloads are blocked, nor could I find any of my computer settings changed when I went through the Windows Attachment Manager.
What should I do to sort this problem? Would temporarily stopping something with my McAfee virus software help? Both the downloaded file and metadata is stored in the same location. Hence , when the File explorer opens the file it comes across the attached Zone information stored in the same location and checks to see if it came from outside.
Running this app might put your PC at risk. As you disable the smart screen message another dialogue box shows up with the option to run or cancel. Now the user has to manually unblock the downloaded files. This can be done with a Right click on the file and selecting the properties option on the menu. To unblock every file in this method is pain strikingly slow process.

The file name is not listed there however but the date may be sufficient to make an educated guess. A click on the row displays options to restore the file or remove it, and to display details.
Details displays the file name, but it may not be enough to identify the file, as Windows Defender may display a temporary name. Remove deletes the file from the quarantine, restore on the other hand may restore it on the system so that you may access it. The current version of Windows Defender Security Center has quite a few issues in this regard. I mentioned the lack of details already, but it is just one of the issues that you may run into.
Windows Defender Security Center limits the threats to five on that page. While you can click on "see full history" to display all items that the security program quarantined, you will notice right away that the buttons to remove or restore files are missing there.
What you can try is clear the history, and retry the download. It happens that you get a failed download due to the detection of a virus, but no immediate listing under quarantined threats.
The whole process of unblocking files that you want to download that Windows Defender blocked is complicated and to a degree broken. Why are not there options to remove or restore files in the full history, why do I need to click multiple times to find out more about a threat, and why are not threats listed sometimes in the main interface where you can restore them?
