I have a Windows 10 laptop and all the files in the Downloads directory are missing the Security tab from the file properties view.
Folders in Downloads do have the Security tab.
Files do not.
In the local group policy editor, Local Computer Policy | User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | File Explorer | Remove Security Tab is set to 'not configured'.
What else could be causing this? There are a ton of links on Google and questions here which say the group policy setting I just mentioned fixes it. But I still cannot access the security settings on my files in the Downloads folder.
Thanks!

Well there are various ways through which you can do this -
1) Simply type Win+R on your keyboard and type then type gpedit.msc.
2) After this When the Local Group Policy Editor opens, navigate to: User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> File Explorer On the right hand side, double-click the “Remove Security tab” setting.
3) If you want to remove security tab select Enabled and click Apply.
4) If you want to restore the missing Security tab, select Disabled instead. The policy setting will take effect immediately.
