Unblock-File should not throw error if file is not blocked #5353

Closed

Description

@SteveL-MSFT

When unblock-file can't find the alternate stream for a blocked file, it reports a technically correct, but useless error message. For files that aren't even blocked (downloaded from untrusted internet zone), we should just quietly ignore the error and return success.

Steps to reproduce

unblock-file $profile

Expected behavior

no error

Actual behavior

unblock-file : The system cannot find the file specified
At line:1 char:1
+ unblock-file $profile
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : PermissionDenied: (C:\Users\slee\D...ell_profile.ps1:String) [Unblock-File], Win32Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : RemoveItemUnauthorizedAccessError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.UnblockFileCommand
