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 agree with the updating of Edge - it worked. It did not update for me last night but today it did and printing files to .pdf is now working

    Thanks N.K10 for the info.

    For those who tried updating Edge through Windows Update, it does not work. What you have to do is the following:

    • Start Edge
    • Open the ellipsis menu in the upper right corner
    • Go to Help and feedback > About Microsoft Edge

    Image

    If an update is available, it will automatically start downloading it and you'll be prompted to restart Edge to apply the update.

    As of today, I updated Edge on all my machines through this procedure, and all of them downloaded an update that fixed the problem.

    That's it!

    thank you!!!! worked for me!
