Please watch the video of this happening for more context (video here). I have a windows pc (built by myself 6 years ago) that is now acting up.
Whenever i try to download something fromgoogle chrome, this happens:
If i am lucky, downloading works when i click a “download” link (like the one in the video: “save image as”). However, 70% of the time when i want to download something from google, my pc does what is shown in the video. The “save as” pop-up appears, but doesn’t respond nor show the text and files that usually appear when you save something. Usually have to wait around 3-5 minutes before the “save as” window suddenly becomes normal. Sometimes it helps to force-close the window, and press download again as i do in the video.. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I am a video editor, so being able to download things from google is crucial.
I suspect is has something to do with my hard drive (2tb kingston - not OS - only for extra storage). When i ex. try to play a video from that HDD, windows tries to load the video for up to 10 minutes, but then says “server execution failed”. But when i for ex. import a 10gb video into a premiere pro project (from that same HDD), it plays back 100% perfect without any issues. Windows, where Google Chrome is stored, is on a separate 500gb SSD.
