To uninstall Google Chrome completely, first, you need to uninstall Google Chrome under Settings, then go to the registry to delete all Google folders. Now you have successfully and completely uninstalled Google Chrome from your computer.
Go to Microsoft Store to reinstall Google and see whether the "Chrome not downloading files" still exists. Disable all extensions that work as download managers since they may interfere with file downloading of Chrome. Toggle the button to disable downloading-related extensions.

By the way, she's an aviation fan! If you have upgraded the Google Chrome browser to version 86 , released on October 6, , you may have noticed that some file downloads don't work anymore in the browser.
You click on the download link and nothing happens. Chrome does not display a notification and there is virtually no information that explains what is happening, or not happening in this case. A check of the downloads page of the browser does not even list the file. The fact that nothing happens can be confusing to users, as the expectation is that the download should begin after clicking on the link. The company decided to roll out the feature gradually by adding more and more file types to the blocklist.
Executable files, e. Chrome and most Chromium-based browsers display a notification in the download panel when a download is blocked because it is offered via HTTP. Users of the browser may discard the download or select the arrow-icon to select keep.
Selecting keep saves the file to the download directory of the browser. There is only one option to find out if a download is blocked in Chrome, or if it is an unrelated problem, e. Now that it is clear what happened, it is essential to understand what your options are to download the file. Right now, the easiest option available is to right-click on the download link and select "save link as". The download is executed when you do that. Note that some download links, e.
There are other options, and it is possible that Google is blocking downloads via right-clicks as well in the future:. The blocked file types implementation lacks clarity and information.
The right-click bypass may work for now, but it is not clear that it does and many users may not identify it as the sole option in Chrome to download blocked files. A clear warning, with the option to override, should be displayed instead, as users should be in control of the browser and not the other way around.
Now You: Blocking file downloads without notification, good thing to protect users or user unfriendly behavior? Surely everyone needs to learn how to check their downloads for malware no matter whether the source is download via Chrome, Firefox, mail attachment or some other source!
Pigs … they do. The best they do is create a false sense of security. I guess what Google intents to do here is a mix of security and privacy improvement. In other words, not downloading stuff that can be seen or change during transit. In , there were an estimated 2. You are volunteering to teach the 2. Is it really bottom-feeder vs. Or normal user vs. That truth is people have been lulled into this garbage by the likes of schmucks like google which also have an agenda at hand to have a walled garden and total control in similar fashion to apple.
I am a computer scientist. The easiest solution by far is to stop using google for your browsing needs you would be doing yourself a favor anyway. Just because they foisted their garbage upon you many years ago by bamboozling you to download and install their browser many years ago along with their toolbar does not mean you should continue to use them.
There are other similar options such as ungoogled-chromium, brave, vivaldi to name a few that may not have such restrictions in place.
Stop using google only to support insecure downloads? Nobody foisted their garbage upon me and Chrome is no garbage. You miss the main point. People need to learn basic precautions. It is not about somebody else doing it for you or teaching you how to do it.
You know the risk. You need to learn how to look after yourself. I agree with you entirely on that thought. People do need to learn the basic precautions. People do need to learn how to look after themselves but this is the problem, companies like google put us all into a handbasket and force such measures upon us all because of a few bad apples.
Maybe Google should prompt users upon installation which version to install, the baby, hold your hand version or the normal average user that way they can also implement all the rubbish features such as this on the crayons and finger paints version and all the advanced features that a normal user would expect and more on the targeted version.
Mircrosoft are pretty much the same also. Google invests together with Apple the far most money and efforts to find out what their user want. You do not decide what people need to learn. People may not know the risk or they may know the risk and do not care.
I worked in IT security for a decade. However, if this does not work, you can try to recreate the profile user data folder for your profile in Edge. Close all Edge Browser windows. Under User Data folder, rename the folder Default to Default. Restart Edge and it should ask you to login to your profile.
