I am unable to download any files through Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome since last month's update. I have tried disabling my virus software settings, turning off Windows Defender, and disabling safety features inside Edge to allow downloads, but nothing has worked. I even updated my Dell drivers, but the problem persists. It's frustrating to have to use Firefox just to download files. Can anyone offer some advice on why this is happening and how I can fix it?

    Hi,

    Can you see if changing the DNS helps?

    1. Press Windows+R keys on the keyboard, or Right-click Start on the Taskbar and choose Run.

    Type ncpa.cpl Press Enter.

    1. Right-click your device and select Properties.
    2. Double click IPv4 options to open IPv4 properties.

    4.Select the ""Use the following DNS servers"" radio box, and enter the following in the addresses. 1.1.1.1 1.1.2.2

    1. Click OK and OK again.

    Restart your computer.
