Problem with IE 9 Download Manager

downloaddownload-managerinternetinternet explorer

I just noticed that since Windows Update auto downloaded a new update for the latest version of Internet Explorer 9, the built in download manager stops downloading videos (any video, from any site) at around 97%.

And, upon clicking cancel, it doesn't really cancel it. It appears to have cancelled it, but later when I download a program or a file or something, it says 3 (for example) downloads remaining. But there's only one download in the list.

Has anybody else had this problem with IE9?

How can I "reset" the IE9 Download Manager, or "reset" IE9 without uninstalling (preferably)?

Best Answer

Try disabling your anti-virus for testing, as the download may be sitting at 97% percent while the file is being scanned. Videos can be very large and if the anti-virus is scanning them it could take a while for the download to completely 'finish'.

You also may want to check out the Windows' Resource Monitor while a problem download is hanging, as it may tell you what's going on.
