All internet browsers crashed whenever a link between browser and file explorer was made, downloading or uploading a file. Next I noticed it affected MS Word too. Saving existing document worked fine, but Word crashed when trying to save it as a new file file explorer opens. I can't remember the error, it was something like "could not execute" or something. I am using Finnish version of Win7 so sorry for bad translation. I did it 3 or 4 times as instructed. There was also some windows updates involved, and I reinstalled some of basic drivers with acer recovery tool.
After restart, all works again! Even the old problem that I had before was gone. The old prolem was that I could not install a printer or "print" a PDF file because some of the printer services were down and windows was not able to start them. Now printing works also. Just thought that this would be worth sharing, this is kind of unique problem and there will be people struggling with it in the future. I fixed this, in Windows 7, by turning off the preview feature in Windows Explorer that's the file explorer, not a browser.
To do this, open a directory in Explorer. Before, this happened periodically in all my browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Internet Explorer. It's been late for this question, but this happened on my computer just today, hence I'm posting my findings here for Windows. I don't think it has anything to do with the browsers, and that's why it happens across all browsers. The culprit is 'explorer', as has been hinted in some of the other answers. Giving below my quick and dirty solution.
Mostly task manager also goes unresponsive whenever this happens. If that happens we'll have to kill the browser - use an elevated command prompt to run the command:.
Or we can directly kill 'explorer' using command prompt using a command similar to the ones shown above , I haven't tested that yet. Before i installed Apple quicktime and Itunes, ive never had this problem. While i had apple quicktime and itunes installed every browser ive used had the problem of freezing up or crashing when trying to save a file.
Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer. This enabled them to continue downloading files without the error constantly occurring. One guy said that uninstalling Panda Antivirus solve his problem. Once that I also used to use Panda I decided to try and surprisingly worked,! Since I removed the software my downloads back to normal and chrome is not crashing anymore. While this workaround may not be the cause of your particular issue, it is as of this moment, the only solution that seems to help.

If your Chrome is now downloading files, pick any method here to get rid of this issue on your own:.
I used to download email attachments, pictures and music very easily. Since last week, it's no longer downloading any type of file from any website. What's the matter? Google Chrome is so simple and powerful that everyone loves it. But recently I found that one issue is under heated discussion on some major-related forums: Google Chrome is not downloading files! Or, while selecting a location to preserve the download s , the required download prompt box doesn't appear as usual.
After many searches on the internet, Chrome fans said that they still don't find a confirmed solution to solve the problem. Some of the fixing methods will restore your browser to its original defaults or delete the Google folder. If the browsing history or bookmarks were unfortunately removed. Don't panic though, we left a data recovery plan to assist you to recover Chrome history in Windows and restore Chrome bookmarks on Mac.
Since Google has a temporary folder that stores some cache files related to browsing history and bookmarks, you can use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard , one of the most powerful third-party hard drive recovery software, to restore missing or lost Chrome data from its temporary folder, even the folder has been deleted on a local disk. Step 1. Step 3. After selecting the files, click Recover and choose a location to save the recovered files at. Make sure not to pick your storage device that made you lose your files.
