How can I fix this? I need there files for work. Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows I suggest you to boot the system in Safe Mode and check if the issue persists.
To boot system in Safe Mode, follow the steps provided in the link below:. Hope the information is helpful. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I as the person above also cannot open downloads in windows I tried Safe mode to no avail. Kept telling me I was not connected to the internet. As soon as I rebooted left safe mode and internet returned.
I wish I could go back to windows Windows 11 Upgrade Guide. My laptop is very seletive in what microsoft word files it downloads properly. More often than not however, I am able to download the document but when I click to open it, i receive the prompt that I do not have the app to open it, which is odd as I have Microsoft Office installed and have used the software seamlessly in the past. I am however able to properly download and open the same document on another computer.
Would appreciate some help in resolving this issue. I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:.
If you haven't, that's the reason you have this issue, as it's not able to auto-detect the program created to open the file and here's what you need to do:. Say for example you want to launch.

Thank you! Stephen Boots Volunteer Moderator. In reply to ShanP's post on January 26, What email program are you using? What version of Windows? What version of Access? How do you know that the zipped mdb is indeed safe? In reply to Stephen Boots's post on January 26, Hi Steve, I am using Windows live mail, version 7. Windows Live Mail is probably blocking the file, then. Windows would not block it. It is unlikely that McAfee blocked it.

This next fix will come as a surprise for most users. As a result, if even just one file has a corrupt thumbnail that doesn't load properly, you could be blocked from opening Downloads. Go to the "View" tab and observe the "Advanced settings" section. If the setting hasn't already been turned on, enable "Always show icons, never thumbnails" by checking the box next to it.
Click "Apply" and "OK", then check whether or not the problem still occurs. Using this method will stop thumbnails from loading when you want to open the Downloads folder. Thus, if a corrupt thumbnail is at the root of the error, showing the icons instead will let you regain access to the folder.
After trying these 4 fixes you'll either have fixed the issue or you still can't open Downloads folder in Windows But don't worry, there is at least one effective way left.
What you can do is to recover files from the inaccessible folder using a third-party data recovery tool: AnyRecover. As a powerful program which specializes in data loss issues, AnyRecover can handle almost any data problems arising in various scenarios: emptied trash, accidental data deletion, partition error, system crash, corrupted or formatted device, etc.
With it, you can retrieve data from the Downloads folder which is no longer accessible in an easy and fast way.
Download AnyRecover, install it on your computer, and launch the program. Choose the file location of your Downloads folder, click "Start" to run scanning process.
As the scan is running, you will be able to pause the scan, resume it later, or stop it completely. The remaining time will be displayed as well. After the scan is done, browse all the files detected and preview the files that you want to recover.
Then select what you want to get back and click "Recover" to retrieve the data. This time you'd better choose a recovery location that is different from your Downloads folder.
When you first notice that you can't open Downloads in Windows 10, your best bet is to stop using your computer or at the very least, don't download anything else. This will significantly reduce the risk of data loss until the issue is resolved. The next thing to do is recover any files you don't want to lose.
