I have an Alfa AWUS036NH Wireless USB Wi-Fi Adapter, which has a Ralink RT2870 chip. Alfa don't have a Windows 10 driver, so I downloaded the driver from MediaTek (MediaTek bought Ralink a few years ago):
Their site says the driver is WHQL certified, but when I try to run it I get a dialog box saying the publisher has been blocked:
Clicking How do I unblock this publisher? just goes to a Bing search, which is not very helpful.

Thanks, but it didn't work. I used the PS option:
get-childitem "D:DownloadsComputer DriversAlfa WirelessALFA AWUS036NH (Ralink RT2870) Wireless USB WiFi AdapterMediaTek (Ralink)" | unblock-file -confirm
How about this?

Please mark this thread as solved.
While running from CMD worked, I would still prefer to unblock the file, or at least figure out why it is blocked.Great! Thanks for reporting back.

Just a WAG here, but, probably the OS is looking for a digital signature, and either it's corrupt, expired or missing.Now back home and tried on another PC, same problem.
