I don't recommend turning SmartScreen off completely because it is helpful in preventing you from downloading a malicious file or app, but you can disable it in Microsoft's Edge browser if you want to override its protection and go ahead and download a file it doesn't recognize. You can disable SmartScreen in the Windows Defender Security Center app in total or just for Edge, but for the latter it's faster to do so right within Edge itself, particularly if you are already using Edge.
Here's how to toggle SmartScreen off and on in Edge:. With SmartScreen off, you are on your own about which files to download in Edge, but I would urge you to go back and toggle SmartScreen on when you have finished downloading your file.
And, of course, only turn it off to download files you know to be safe. In Windows Defender, you can also change Edge's SmartScreen to merely warn you when you are about to download a file it deems suspicious instead of it outright blocking it.

I was downloading some files when it was suddenly interrupted.
And I am not able to continue with the download! How do I do it? Just start the download over. Like a silly billy, I closed the tab that showed downloads progress….
Wherever I look on the web, none of the guidance or help works. I clicked on the three lines as you suggest, but the only downloads I see are past downloads including Windows10Upgrade Pretty sure that system updates work differently, John. Once the Creators Update is downloaded, an icon should show up right on your desktop! Thanks for the easy question — Windows10Upgrade You might check your email, I just spotted a TechNet flash to NOT install it but wait until Windows Update notifies you to ensure any hardware issues are resolved.
Rolling back Windows builds causes issues, they are b. Finding the download is easy found it without your article, but nice job for those would did not know. ANY way to select my own chosen destination…? Or is Big Brother Microsoft going to keep telling me they know better than I do what I should do with my download? DJ, everything goes into the Downloads folder.
Then you can move it as desired. Depends on the adverts. Which specific software are you looking at? Hi, Quite a good article! I have been wondering about it and avoiding Edge. This was very helpful. Your email address will not be published. January 26, at am.
