Unable to download anything on new laptop

[maireadodea]

I have gotten a new laptop and can't download anything. I tried to install Google chrome but it just says it's downloading for hours and nothing happens. When I tried to install iTunes it said installation was interrupted multiple times and that an error occurred when installing.

I have tried temporarily disabling mcafee live safe scans but it still isn't working? Is there anything else I can do?

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!

By any chance, are you using MicroSoft Edge as your browser?  There are numerous posts on the Forum from users having lots of issues just like yours.

Windows 10 PC's also come with Internet Explorer installed.  Tap the Windows icon, the scroll down the list of All Apps until you see "Windows Accessories".  In this folder you'll find Internet Explorer.

Open it, and then try to download Chrome.

Let us know if this helps!

I tried to download with internet explorer but its still the same. After the message to make changes to the computer the screen on internet explorer says thank you for downloading google chrome but the small 'downloading window' stays open and just stays on downloading for ages.
