I'm struggling to download files - nothing seems to be working. Whenever I try to copy a link, it gets altered. Can someone assist me in resolving this issue?

Here are the detailed steps to help resolve the Windows/Edge issue:

  1. Copy the link correctly:

    • Press the Windows key + E to open File Explorer.
    • In the address bar, type %clipboard% and press Enter.
    • This should open the Clipboard section.
    • Look for the original link that you were trying to copy.
    • Right-click on the link and select Copy.

  2. Disable any add-ons potentially causing issues:

    • Open Microsoft Edge.
    • Click on the three dots in the top right corner and select Extensions.
    • Turn off each extension one by one.
    • Check if the problem persists after turning each extension off.

  3. Reset Edge and restore default settings:

    • Open Microsoft Edge.
    • Click on the three dots in the top right corner and select Settings.
    • Scroll down to Reset settings and click on Restore settings to their default values.
    • Confirm by clicking Reset.

  4. Clear Edge browser data:

    • Open Microsoft Edge.
    • Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete.
    • Ensure all boxes are checked (Browsing history, Cookies and other site data, and Cache).
    • Click Clear now.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you might want to consider reinstalling Microsoft Edge or seeking further assistance from Microsoft support.
