When downloading using IDM it messes up pc from opening applications on desktop.

[nyccollectables]

Hey guys. I'm a bit lost as to whats going on. I am using Internet download manager to download huge files. My internet is stable at 350/25. I can download the file, but once the file is done downloading I try to delete the rar files, but recycle bin shows them pending for a while before it deletes, then I click google chrome from the desktop and it doesn't open. For some odd reason the only fix is to hard power off and power back on and im able to get back on chrome, delete etc.

I am not able to 100% pinpoint it to IDM.

Does anyone know what could be causing the problem if so please help thanks a ton and stay safe.

Hi!

Please try the following first:

GSmartControl
Follow the instructions below to check your SMART status with GSmartControl:

• Download the portable version of GSmartControl and save it on your Desktop;
• Extract the zip file to your Desktop. Open the folder gsmartcontrol-1.1.3-win64 which should be located on your Desktop and double-click gsmartcontrol.exe to launch the program.
• Identify your drive in the list (if recognized by the tool), and hover your mouse over it.
• You should see something called: SMART status. It will either read: Enabled, in which case you should do the following:
• Double-click on it to bring up its window (usually you'll find your drive by its size or its brand name);
• Go to the Self-Tests tab, then select Extended Self-test in the Test type drop-down list and click on Execute (this test can take a few hours to complete);
• Once the test is over, the results will be displayed at the bottom of the window. Please copy and paste these results in your next reply or take a screenshot;
• Also, go in the Attributes tab and if you have any entries highlighted in red or pink, take a screenshot of the GSmartControl window and attach it in your next reply;
• Please note: If the SMART Status reads: Unsupported, stop and let me know.

Update ever since removing IDM and using an alternative Jdownlader 2 the issues are no longer occurring. I can now say it is IDM. The problem is that I am so use to IDM any fix for this?

Inform IDM developers about this issue and wait for a fix.

Thanks as of now I will stick with Jdownloader 2. The owner of IDM blames it on my Antivirus, but I uninstalled that and same problem.
