I can't see the characters in the pic but it looks like the name of the file is renamed when you go to save it. I have Chrome to save downloads to a certain folder without asking. I changed it to ask so I would get the save as dialogue and it has the proper file name as displayed on the website. I found this: SaveAs dialog changes file-name to that of an existing file Last edited: Feb 26, 2021

Why does your dialog box have dateitime and dateityp too? Could you please open an administrative command prompt and then enter the following command: Code: sfc /scannow

About the only non-original source I trust, though I don't use it myself but many of my blind or visually impaired clients do, is nitenite.com. Otherwise, it's go to the appropriate source for the piece of software you're looking to download when that is possible. And for the vast majority of things, that is possible.
