I recently installed a fresh copy of W-10 Home version 22H2 in my other machine and this security warning now appears on both machines when ever I try to open a contact. If I click yes it then opens the contact I had selected. I turned off SYNC on both machines. But it still is on both machines which operate thru the same router.
See Why am I suddenly getting this security warning - TenForums
Sorry, it's not the same diagram.

It [strangely] thinks your contact has been downloaded from the internet and is responding as it should for a downloaded file.
If you right-click on the Contact & select Properties, does it show an Unblock checkbox as in the example at the start of this tutorial?

I have not seen this problem before.
Your description of your setup seems quite normal.
@Brink - Have you seen such an incident before?

I also wonder if your Contacts files have been corrupted.
Your diagram does not quite match anything I've seen.
The 'Unknown file type' bit says that Windows does not recognise it as a Contacts file.
Do you have a backup?

I had a new copy of W-10 on my Dell 3847 in Jan 15-2024. Worked just fine.
I put a new copy of W-10 on my Lenovo K330 on Mar 23-2024 and it worked just fine.
I synced the two machines to copy files from one to the other and it worked just fine.
BUT I now had the unwanted security warning only on the favorites list on the contacts list on both machines.
I turned off sync on both machines. but the warning was still there.
I had a backup favorites contact list on a thumb drive. I deleted the favorites contact list on the Lenovo and reistalled from the thumb drive. Security warning gone. Tryed it on the Dell and got the same results. Lets see how long it lasts and if the results will be the same when both machines are online at the same time. Thanks for the help. Arnie
Well done,
Denis

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
