Microsoft Edge has a new bug that won’t allow you to downloaded files easily. Thus, you might need to spam click to open your files. Fortunately, some Redditors discovered a way to deal with the problem. However, it is not a permanent fix. Thus, it won’t help you download files if you are in a hurry.
How to fix the Microsoft Edge files download bug?
To fix the Microsoft Edge files download bug, wait until the files are available in their download folder. Afterward, you have to open them directly from there. However, this might take a while because the files might not be available right away.
On the other hand, if you try to open the files without waiting a few seconds, you might trigger the bug. In addition, if you need to download and open multiple files, make sure you only try to open some of them.
Unfortunately, if you think of downloading an older version of Microsoft Edge, it won’t fix the file download issue. After all, the browser will update automatically.
Ultimately, we must wait for a fix for the Microsoft Edge download issue. All you can do for now is wait or to access your downloads from the folder. However, it might take a while for the issue to be solved. After all, Microsoft recently fixed the Edge problem in which the browser was stealing Chrome tabs.
