    Cannot download any files from the internet, from any program


    My relatively new Windows 10 laptop has a recurring issue where it cannot download any files from the internet.It was so frustrating I reinstalled Windows entirely.

But I cleared every cache in Steam and nothing will work.I can still save files from Notepad, so it is specifically files from the internet. I have over 300 GB free on my ha

    Internet Downloads

    Thanks all for the useful suggestions, i certainly can understand the idea of refreshing downloads. I wish Firefox had that little button lol. Now i'll try and download Warrock (a great FREE game) with download manager though (annoyingly) firefox is now downloading without buggering up!
    I just did a few spyware scans which though didn't stop the probs it probably did stop all thoses bloody programs from using the internet and slowing it down.

    Can not download/run any program from the internet.


    After downloading just click the "x" and close the downloader

    Then open file explorer and go to downloads.

    I already checked with Malwarebytes for malware and it's clean!

    Are my Registry Files all legitimate programs?

    Isn't there a web tool whereby I can check if programs listed in my REGISTRY FILES are legitimate programs?
