Here’s a comprehensive write-up on using PowerShell to unblock all files within a folder, including context, syntax, examples, and important considerations. The Problem: Files Downloaded from the Internet When you download files from the internet (e.g., scripts, executables, ZIP archives), Windows automatically adds an alternate data stream (ADS) named Zone.Identifier to mark the file as coming from the web.
