Windows 10: Internet Explorer is downloading files

I have accidentally set internet explorer as my default for downloading apps, but I do not like Internet explorer's slow download speed, can I change my default for downloading apps back to the original? I use Chrome, and I just do not like IE.

[IE6] Internet Explorer Cannot Download / [SITE]

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with my Internet Explorer 6.

In any website I try to access, I get this

Internet Explorer cannot download / SITE
Internet Explorere was not able to open this internet site.

There's a downloading file right behind it. I'm just trying to access a site, but it shows that. Why is it? Is there a way to cure this error?

 

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

Hi Jacob,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are unable to download files from the Internet. I will try to help you with this issue.

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

• 
  Do you have a wired net connection or a Wi-Fi net connection?
  
• 
  Are you able to download those files using any other browser on the pc?
  
• 
  Have you installed all pending updates on the pc?

Suggest you to use Microsoft Edge to check if you are able to download the files.
