Windows 10: Why do I HAVE to have iDM

I have a Lenovo Ideapad that is not in Smode, and every time I click on a hyperlink for Uni articles, it insists I download the app iDM, when I do the

hyperlink downloads but into HTML format which is useless to me. I uninstalled iDM to check if that would work, and no it didn't because Microsoft insists that I have to have this APP. Is there a way round this?


Can anyone help me I am unable to study and need to access these links, for my assignment that is due in 3 days. Thanks

:)

 

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.

 

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.
