  1. How do I reset the download?


    I'm not quite sure how to explain this but I have downloaded something and it says open as. I accidentally clicked on window media. Now it only opens up with the window media and even when I try to redownload it. It still comes up as window media. How do I resolve this?

    Download Popup Window Not Using Default Language in Window 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your response.

    I suggest you to try using Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge and check if the issue persists in these browsers.

    If the issue persists follow the steps below and check if that helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to reset the settings on the Microsoft Edge web browser to check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Steps to Reset Edge:-


            • First of all launch Microsoft Edge Browser.

            • After that click on “More action” option which is visible at top right side of the browser and you will see “Settings” option.

            • Under “Settings” scroll down and you will see a button “Choose what to clear” under “Clear browsing data” option.

            • Once you click on this option you will see list of feature like
    • Browsing History
    • Cookies and saved website data
    • Cached data and file
    • Download history
    • Form data
    • Password.
    Step 2: How to reset Internet Explorer settings.

    I suggest you to try the steps provided to reset Internet Explorer, in the link below.

    Disclaimer: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The Reset Internet Explorer
    Settings feature might also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature.

    If the issue is specific to Chrome then I suggest you to contact Google Chrome support
    from the link below.

  3. Windows 10 Apps from the store wont download

    Hi Sumon,

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    • Do you face this issue only with these apps?
    • Did you try downloading other apps?
    • Did you try stopping these apps and then downloading it again?
    We would suggest you to try the steps mentioned in the link

    • Type troubleshooting in the search
      box
      and hit Enter.
    • Click View all from the left pane and select Windows store apps.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions and check.
    If the steps don't work try these steps:

    Try to reset the Windows store and check.
    • Press Win + R on the keyboard to open run Window.
    • Type wsreset.exe to reset the Windows store cache.
    Hope this information helps.
