Hi @tracy8311,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand you're experiencing issues downloading files on your HP Chromebook. Let's troubleshoot this step by step:

 

Check Internet Connection: Ensure that your Chromebook is connected to the internet and the connection is stable. Sometimes, poor connectivity can hinder downloads.

Update Chrome OS: Even if your system says it's updated, there might be a pending update. Here's how to check:

  • Click on the clock in the bottom right corner.
  • Click on the Settings gear icon.
  • In the "Settings" menu, click on "About Chrome OS".
  • Click on "Check for updates".
  • If there are updates available, click on "Restart to Update".

Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, a cluttered cache can cause issues. Here's how to clear the cache in Chrome:

  • Open Chrome.
  • Click on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
  • Go to "More tools" > "Clear browsing data".
  • Select "All time" as the time range and check "Cached images and files".
  • Click on "Clear data".

Check Downloads Folder: After attempting to download a file, check your Downloads folder to see if the file was actually downloaded but not opened automatically.

Try Another Browser: Sometimes, certain websites or downloads may have compatibility issues with Chrome. Try downloading the file using another browser like Firefox.

Factory Reset (Optional): If none of the above solutions work, you might consider performing a factory reset on your Chromebook. Keep in mind that this will erase all data on your device, so make sure to back up any important files beforehand.

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
