It often happens that when trying to download a file in Google Chrome, the download fails and gets blocked. The message "Failed-Blocked" appears next to the download. This is a common problem caused by security settings that automatically block the download.
This error not only occurs in Chrome but also in other browsers like Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. There is a chance that you changed the security settings with a previous version of Windows or in Windows 10. All you have to do is change the setting back to normal. Let's see how to fix this problem.
