At work and don't have Windows 10 or FirebirdSql here, so I can't test my theory. But I suspect its permissions related. There is a new feature on the properties dialog for files in Windows 10. Its a checkbox to unblock a file. Right click on the security.fdb, select Properties and see if that option is there.
On a more radical solution, try installing your firebirdsql to a folder NOT in Program Files.
