Hi, my names John, and I currently have trouble opening files that I
recently downloaded. For example if I download applications or loaders
from websites, and I am finished downloading them, I click on them and
they just won't open. They will have the spinning circle spin for a few
seconds and it will stop.

Usually this would open the file, but for me it just won't do anything
ant the downloaded files won't open. I tried downloading these files
onto a friend's laptop and they opened fine. Please help, it'd be
greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much,

John

After I download I select to open the file location first then run/open the
file from there. I have not had any problems opening files doing it this
way.

Hey Bob, I just tried that option. It had a window pop up right after I
ran it as an Administrator. Then it shows a window that says Allow or
Don't Allow, and I choose Allow, and after that it does the spinning
circle and stops, and nothing happens.

Which AV program are you running?

When following up to a previous post, you don't need to include everything.
Snip out what's not relevant. But do include what is relevant. Some people
may have missed the previous posts.

So don't top-post, usenet ettiquette king.

It has nothing to do with ettiquette. It's about about helping others
benefit from posted issues.

Top-posting is the norm for MS groups and it works fine. If you prefer to
bottom post or post in-line than do so.

I top-post because that seems to be the default when I use the Microsoft
software. When I click on the Reply, a window opens up with the text from
the post inserted and a blank few lines of separation at the top where I
assume one starts to type their reply message.
