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.

Microsoft Edge | Favorites, history, and downloads | Windows 11

    I submitted a “send feedback msg” through Edge and received this from MS.

    Lets hope this is fixed soon.

    I'm following as I am having the same Issue, save as PDF is superior and I would like to keep it that as Microsoft option is not compatible due to encryption issues with my company. This started happening after the update. Is there a way I can go back to a previous version of Edge?

    Simply Copy - Pasting the bad file in the same location worked for me. I need the save to pdf option as it is editable instead of the image that microsoft print to PDF results in.

    We are experiencing the same issue in our organization with all user. We use Save to PDF because its easier to copy data from columns individually to our Excel report. Hopefully this issue is fixed soon or we will just move to Chrome
