Edge suddenly stopped completing downloading PDFs after update yesterday. Cant uninstall. All files remain as "Unconfirmed XXXXX.crdownload". Tried all usual fixes, AV, clear history, turn off all extensions, repair/reinstall, different folder, etc. Chrome and all other browsers save just fine! Saving as webpages works fine too, just save as PDF does not.

    I have the same issue but not only with PDF but with any file. I've disabled Smartscreen policy in InTune but nothing helps. No logs anywhere that indicate something is being blocked.

    Same here, all my users that have to save to pdf is having issues and to the point they cannot download any files. Users have to restart the computer in order to download other files again. I am advising the company to not save to pdf at this time until I can get this latest update uninstalled from our network.

    We are experiencing the same issue in our organization with multiple users. Save as PDF never finishes downloading but Print to PDF works just fine. We would like to continue using Save as PDF because it automatically names the downloaded files, where Print to PDF does not.

    Same issue for at least 2 dozen people at my org. The PDF saves when you print to PDF and slowly goes up in size. This is wild.

    Experiencing the same issue as others have noted since the most recent update to MS Edge. Save as PDF just hangs in the Downloads. Print to PDF still works, but you have to name your file. Print, Save as PDF still works in other browsers, so the issue is in the December 2023 update to MS Edge. I even turned on "Download PDF" in settings but Edge still does not "Save as PDF."
