Cant download files from the internet?

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?
  
• 
  What is the error message you get when the download fails?
  

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

Follow these steps to reset the Internet Explorer settings to default and check the browser freeze status.

1. Press “Windows key + R” to get the run window.

2. Type “inetcpl.cpl” and click ok to get the “Internet Options” window.

3. Click the “Advanced” tab and click “reset”.

Files all downloaded but last part of setup failed


Hi. I was invited to download/install Windows 10 and I followed all the steps to download the files. Then I clicked to install it and it seemed to be doing it. Windows closed down and the computer restarted, but when it opened again it was still Windows 7 and there was a box up relating to Windows upgrades that that said the 'latest upgrade' had failed, and there was a button to click to download Windows 10 if I wanted to (again?!). I don't know where all the files are that were downloaded and what I should do. I saw a suggestion somewhere that firewall/antivirus software can be a problem. I have Bitdefender, that doesn't allow you to disable it.. I suppose I could remove it completely before trying again? But otherwise what should I do? I don't want to download a lot of duplicate files again.

Thanks for any suggestions.

 

Internet Downloads

Thanks all for the useful suggestions, i certainly can understand the idea of refreshing downloads. I wish Firefox had that little button lol. Now i'll try and download Warrock (a great FREE game) with download manager though (annoyingly) firefox is now downloading without buggering up!
I just did a few spyware scans which though didn't stop the probs it probably did stop all thoses bloody programs from using the internet and slowing it down.
