  2. Add Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File Explorer > Configure Windows Defender SmartScreen and set it to Enabled, then set Pick one of the following settings to Warn and prevent bypass.
  3. Assign the policy to your Windows devices, and remove any other assigned policy that sets it to something else.
