Edge downloads are not completing

When I attempt to downlaod a file in Edge, the download never finishes. I end up with a file named something like "Unconfirmed nnnnnn.crdownload". If I attempt to close Edge I get a warning about the file downloading. I have waited hours for downloads to finish. Makes no difference. If I close Edge, I cannot delete the file. I have to reboot before I can delete these files.

    josaxton  Having the exact same issue.  Happened with the update.  Some webpages will print to PDF and others will not.  I cannot figure out what the determining factor is.  I am running Edge on a Macbook pro, if that matters.

      KVallee I have discovered the file does download, and if you rename the file to what you intended including the PDF extension, then you can open the file. This is one workaround until Microsoft fixes this annoying issue.

      KVallee yep, same here. edge is falling apart quickly. slow and laggy browsing, horrible sidebar function on workspaces, and now downloading. Dev edge was better, now its just as bad. switching back to chrome soon
