File is not commonly downloaded. Make sure you trust file before you open it

The organization I work for has a GPO requirement to not let user's bypass SmartScreen warnings about downloads. We set the GPO "Prevent bypassing of Microsoft Defended SmartScreen warnings about downloads" to enabled. There are some batch file downloads on an internal SharePoint site that are being restricted with a message of "File is not commonly downloaded. Make sure you trust file before you open it". With the GPO previously mentioned set to enabled, we don't have the ability to select "Keep" (see picture below). I've tried configuring the GPO "Configure the list of domains for which Microsoft Defender SmartScreen won't trigger warnings" and had no success. Also, I have tried configuring the GPO "Disable download file type extension-based warnings for specified file types on domains" with no success. Does anybody have any recommendations of a way I could solve this issue? I'm assuming a whitelist has to be created but so far no options are working.
