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.

 

Why do I HAVE to have iDM

Hi Susan

By iDM to you mean a utility called Internet Download Manager?

If so, that has nothing to do with Windows or Microsoft and certainly would not be recommended by them . . .

Does your Uni have some sort of education website that you are downloading data from, if so, it is probably them that are insisting on using iDM

What we browser are you using?

Check with other students at your Uni, are they also being forced to use iDM?
