Cannot open downloaded files on window 10

Suddenly I cannot open all the bank statements I have downloaded on the internet.  The only change I did to the computer was installing a new mono printer/ Thanks

  • It shouldn’t be a problem with the drivers installed for a new printer. Try reinstalling Adobe Reader (free) if they’re PDF format documents and click “open with” on the file, choose Adobe Reader.
    Who even knew they sold mono printers any more!

    Been around for years and years and years.  No sign of them going anywhere soon.  Not everybody wants a printer that prints, scans, copies, faxes, connects to the cloud, does the dishes and mows the lawn, some may want one just to print and do nothing else.
  • What browser are you using to download? I’ve had problems opening PDFs downloaded in Google Chrome before, where it just said the download was blocked. Updating Chrome and restarting my computer solved it for me.
