Windows 10: Can't download anything on edge

I was trying to download google, firefox, and the new version of edge I was having malware problems, and google wouldn't open, so I tried reinstalling it

But all of the download buttons didn't do anything. I tried looking at a different Microsoft community question where they said go to the internet options and change the download location to the C:/ Drive, but it didn't work.
