    How to block file downloads in MS Edge?


    Is there a way to block file downloads in MS Edge? We are using Windows 10 Enterprise and cannot seem to find any information on how this can be achieved.. I would of suspected that this feature is derived from IE policies. We currently have policies in place for IE and Chrome which all block file downloads.

    Turning off the 'Ask me what to do with each download' option does not stop downloads - only the location prompt.

    :)

    Downloading using MS Edge

    Hi,

    Are you able to find Download folder in the top right corner having 3 horizontal lines in Edge?

    I suggest you clear the Clear browsing data option
    of Microsoft Edge and check if you see the save as option. To do so perform the steps below.

    • Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Edge.
    • Select Settings and click on
      Choose what to clear.
    • Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files
      and click on Clear.
    Also refer:

    Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.
