1. Restart Your Computer

It's a good practice to shut down your computer after using it instead of putting it on sleep or hibernating it. If you are trying to install Chrome on a system that hasn't been restarted in a while or you recently uninstalled Chrome, you should start by restarting your PC.

2. Set Correct Date and Time

Setting the correct date and time plays a vital role in the proper functioning of your PC. If downloads fail on your system, verify whether your PC has a correct date or not. For that, right-click on the date and time in the taskbar and select Adjust date/time from the menu. In case the date and time are missing from the taskbar, fix it first.

Enable the options for Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically. Also, click on Sync now present under Synchronize your clock. Then, try installing Chrome.

4. Turn off Smart Screen

Windows 10 includes a protective feature called Smart Screen that saves you against phishing and stops you from downloading malicious files. However, sometimes, it stops Chrome from letting you download the normal files too. To fix it, you need to disable Smart Screen on your PC.

For that, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Settings on your PC from the Start Menu. Alternatively, press Windows and I keys on the keyboard.

Step 2: Go to Update and Security.

Step 3: Click on Windows Security in the left sidebar and select App & browser control on the right side.

Step 4: Under SmartScreen for Microsoft Edge, either select Warn or select Off.

Step 5: Restart your PC and then try downloading Chrome.

5. Enough Storage

If you are unable to download anything from your browser, make sure you have enough storage space on your PC. You can use the Storage Sense feature to free up space.

6. Disable Antivirus

Sometimes, the antivirus software present on your computer also prevents Chrome from installing successfully. If you are installing Chrome after getting it from an authorized source, you should try disabling antivirus for a while. Then try to install Chrome. You can also check your firewall settings and see if something is wrong.

7. Change Download Path

At times, the download path is pointing to an invalid location. Possibly that's why you are unable to download anything from the Edge browser. To fix it, you have to change its download location.

For that, follow these steps:

Step 1: Launch the Edge browser and click on the three-dot icon at the top. Select Settings from the menu.

Step 2: Scroll down in the General section, and you will find Downloads. Click on Change and choose a valid location.

Who would have thought that someone would suggest using the old Internet Explorer as a fix? Well, as they say, old is gold. If the new Edge browser is giving you trouble, Internet Explorer will come to your rescue. It's pre-installed on your PC. Use the search to find it and then download Chrome using it.

To fix it, you need to convert your PC from Windows 10 S edition to Windows 10 Pro. Then you can install any app. While the process is free and easy, there is a drawback that you cannot go back to the S mode. It's a one-way journey. So be careful before you take this step.

Here's how to switch out of S mode in Windows 10.

Step 1: Open Settings on your PC and go to Update and Security.

Step 2: Click on Activation in the left sidebar.

Step 3: Under the Switch to Windows 10 Home or Switch to Windows 10 Pro section, click on Go to the Store.

Note: Do not click on the Go to the Store link under Upgrade your edition of the Windows section.

Step 4: Follow the on-screen instructions.

• CAC (see note below)
• Card reader

You can get started using your CAC on your Mac OS X system by following these basic steps:

1. Get a card reader
   Typically Macs do not come with card readers and therefore an external card reader is necessary. At this time, the best advice for obtaining a card reader is through working with your home component. In addition, please review the DoD CAC Reader Specifications for more information regarding card reader requirements.
2. Download and install the OS X Smartcard Services package
   The OS X Smartcard Services Package allows a Mac to read and communicate with a smart card. In order for your machine to recognize your CAC certificates and DoD websites as trusted, the installer will load the DoD CA certificates on OS X. Please refer to this page for specific installation instructions.
3. Address the cross-certificate chaining Issue
   These instructions walk through adjusting the trust settings on the Interoperability Root CA (IRCA) > DoD Root CA 2 and the US DoD CCEB IRCA 1 > DoD Root CA 2 certificates to prevent cross-certificate chaining issues. This can make it appear that your certificates are issued by roots other than the DoD Root CA 2 and can prevent access to DoD websites.
4. Configure Chrome and Safari, if necessary
   Safari and Google Chrome rely on Keychain Access properly recognizing your CAC certificates.
   1. In Finder, navigate to Go > Utilities and launch KeychainAccess.app
   2. Verify that your CAC certificates are recognized and displayed in Keychain Access
