If a file has been blocked, it could be that Windows considers it to be unsafe. Nevertheless, if you are sure that it is safe and want to still open it, here are some suggestions you can try:

1] Run the program using the Command Prompt

Open a Command prompt via the WinX Menu. Press ‘Shift+Right click’ on the program exe file and select Copy as path. Now paste this path in the Command Prompt and hit Enter. The program will open.

2] Unblock it via File Properties

To open it, right-click on the file and open Properties. Click on the Unblock button and then on Apply/OK. You will now be able to access or open the file.

3] Turn Off SmartScreen

Temporarily disable the Windows SmartScreen and see if that helps you.

4] Use Unblock-File PowerShell command

Open an elevated PowerShell prompt, type the following command and hit Enter. This will unblock all the files in the Downloads folder. The above command also assumes that the file is located in your Downloads folder. So you may need to change the path if it is located in some other folder. Also, remember to replace with your Username. Check if the file has been unblocked and if you can open it. Hope something helps you.
