This forces us to use another browser, such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome , and thus be able to download it normally.
Now, luckily we have the possibility to configure Edge so that this does not happen and to be able to download those files that we are sure are reliable. This way we will avoid blockages and have problems when browsing. If we try to download a file and Edge blocks it , it will show a message as we can see in the image below.
This tells us that you have considered it dangerous and does not allow the process to continue and put the computer at risk. It is there where that file will appear, with a red text underneath, which has been blocked and we cannot download correctly.
Later we will have to unlock it and thus be able to complete the download. To do this, you have to click with the right button of the mouse on the file in question that we want to unlock. A small menu with two options will be displayed automatically:. We simply have to click on the second option.
This will allow us to download that file without problems and it will appear in the download folder, like any other document that we download and has not been blocked by Edge.
You will ignore the SmartScreen crash and continue the process. Keep in mind that we should only do this if we are sure that it is not a threat. For example, a document that we have previously downloaded on another computer or from a website that is totally reliable and will not be a risk to our system. Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic. We delete comments that violate our policy , which we encourage you to read.
