Smart Screen Problem while accessing Internet Download Manager (IDM) on Windows 10

Hello Harshil,

We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

• Is this issue specific to Internet Download Manager (IDM)?
• Is it on Microsoft account or Local account?
• Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling Internet Download Manager (IDM)?

Suggest you to check with the below steps and see if it helps.

* Right-click on the Internet Download Manager (IDM)
shortcut file. I mean the .exe file through which you launch the application.

* Select Properties,

* Go to Compatibility tab,

* Check if Run this program as an administrator check box is selected. If yes, then try to clear or uncheck it.

* Click Apply/OK.

Now try to launch the application to see if it makes any difference. If possible, try to restart your computer once to see if it works fine.

Let us know how it went.

Thank you.

 

idm error 0x80040154

Hi,

This error comes because IDM has not integrated properly.

• Run as IDMan.exe with administrator priviledges.
• Close idm completely by going task manager->right click on IDM.exe->end process.
  
• Restart your computer.
• Again run the Internet download manager normally.

 

Is it safe download IDM?

Hi Richard,

I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

IDM is one of the most popular Download manager for Windows. Rest assured, it is perfectly safe. I have been using it since many years.

The context of HP support must be that apps outside the Store have a slight risk of malware. But fair enough to say IDM isn’t one of them.

Hope that helps.
