Every time I highlight a file to move or highlight MP3s files to play I get the Windows 10 security pop up with the warning "Disable “These files might be harmful to your computer” warning?"
This is really annoying - does anyone know how to stop these pop ups?
Thanks

Should be simple fix for this;

Click Start -> Type in: user account control
Click -> "Change User Account Control Settings"

There should be a slider, drag it down right to the bottom, click ok :)

I did do this and it worked for a while, then somehow the security setting set itself back so I get the same problem.
It did work for a while though.

Yes, one of the recent Windows 10 updates changed a BUNCH of settings back to "default". Not only UAC, but also Automatic Updating. I have Pro on all mine and I have Notify/Schedule set for all - and it changed every single one of them back to automatically update. GRRRRRRRRR
