Edge downloads not completing after update

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.

    Thanks for the reply. I have tried all of these to no avail, including the command line scans.

    HOWEVER, I have found that this problem only occurs when on the browser you select print>save as pdf. When doing this, it shows up in the download queue and the issue occurs. If you select print>microsoft print to pdf, it skips the queue and saves just fine.

    Any ideas? Also, why to options?

    I'm having the same issue in my organization. Staff with Edge updated prior to the latest update are able to download / save as PDF without issue. Once they install the latest update to Edge, their Save as PDF option is no longer functioning. Print to PDF works as a workaround for now but we'd like the Save as PDF option fixed, please.

    Thank you very much! Selecting print>microsoft print to pdf, it skips the queue and saves just fine. This solved my same problem!

    That setting was already off. Previously tried to turn on to see if it helped but it didn’t. It remains off.
