download stop at 99%

[citrix]

when i download any file from any website, it always stop at 99% and not moving anymore, just hang over there. when I try do download the file again, it start at 0% and hang there.

how can I fix this?

there is a chance however slim that it is hanging when trying to save the file to disk or complete the save. Have you defragmented and skandisked (chkdsk for NTFS) lately?

you virus checker might be checking it if you're running one, or windows defender might be checking it..

i get a pause like this with large cab files and exe's when downloading..

-edit, disable av or just wait for it to finish (once its checked the file it'll copy it to your download location) when its at 99% its in temp files, then 100% is when it's been copied to your download location (desktop etc)

As bledd mentioned, Virus Scanner, Anti-Spyware or other similar program "could" be causing the hang. A second thing to check also, perhaps your Internet Explorer cache is corrupt.

Check the following registry values to make sure they're BOTH set to 1:

Key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments

Value: ScanWithAntiVirus

Data: 1

Key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments

Value: ScanWithAntiVirus

Data: 1

If either are set to 2, this can happen...
