Not using any anti-virus software? Possibly another application is trying to intercept the download for scanning.

i dont use an anti virus when doawnloading, it is stopped rn

Any extensions installed?

just some extensions like honey, something for spotify and youtube

does it help if testing in private window mode? (with no extensions)

in private window works, but when i try it in normal window it doesnt

okay, either an extension. Or an application is causing it. Try disabling the extensions first and retest in normal window mode

If its an application, (often antivirus/malware) will scan incoming downloads, look through the installed apps.

I hope that helps

i am getting the same problem but in my case its also for downloading any attachments in gmail for some reason
