Google play apps download to 99% and stop

I'm normally quite self-sufficient and end up solving all my computer trouble all by myself, I ain't no noob. But this time I give up: I've looked over so many threads over different forums and majority ended without a sufficient reply. Some had some basic advice that either did not help or wasn't applicable. Well, but I did look and I'm still online. Then, I was to download some software for my phone - but the download won't complete. If I tried it in Safari, I bet it also wouldn't work yes, I have that many browsers installed, just in case.

It's just not browser-related. Disk space? Mate, my computer is 3 TB of memory, no chance. A virus? My anti-virus never failed me, it does a great job at blocking nasties, and I performed TWO full scans, and yet it found nothing suspicious. Is it blocking? Don't think so either, it would say that something was stopped.

Does anyone have any advice? What on Earth is going on?? I know there were threads like this here already, but died away slowly. Please don't leave me here like this! Phantom Retired Trusted Advisor.

This means there is an application interfering in Normal Mode. Try a Clean Boot troubleshooting procedure to hopefully isolate the offending application. How to Perform a Clean Boot.

Thanks a lot!!! I'm not even joking, and it had the blank paper icon and no other info. Got no idea what on Earth that was, looked like a remainder after some uninstalled software. Either way, whatever it was, I had that disabled and the problem has completely disappeared.

There is no such listed there anymore. Which is odd, but then thank goodness it's not there to cause any more trouble. Glad to get my computer back. Glad you got it sorted out! I'm afraid the issue is back. Of course, I did everything again, going as far as disabling everything, even the antivirus, to no avail.

It has resurfaced again when I downloaded and installed a recommended Knowledge Base file from Windows that was supposed to solve an error that I got when trying to download a system update, another issue I'm currently battling with. Not mentioning that the KB thing downloaded didn't solve the issue and the update still fails: with error , to be precise. Are these two problems linked You think?

Joined Mar 31, Messages It seems a third-party application is still interfering with your ability to download. Use safe mode to install your updates for now. And have you tried looking over at a list of installed programmes if you notice any third-party of which you are not aware of?

Also, what anti-virus are you using? It is possible that your anti-virus could be corrupting these downloads. The error you cited appears to be an error shown if the downloaded file is damaged or corrupted.

Few posts back I've mentioned the anti-virus is Avast, but I've tried disabling it too with the same effect or rather the lack of it until Sign up to join this community.
