Slow downloads through the internet are one of the most annoying things in the world. Earlier, when technology hadn’t advanced much, people would wait for quite long for some files to download. Now, thankfully things have changed. IDM or Internet Download Manager increases the speed of downloads multifold and helps download files five times faster. However, some Windows 11 users are unable to use the IDM on their latest Windows version, either partially or completely. This can affect the download speed and take a long time for files to download, therefore, users are on the lookout for workarounds.
IDM is compatible with several devices and makes downloading easier and faster. Windows 11 is the latest introduction of Microsoft. The Windows 11 is the successor to the previously launched Windows 10 and has some significant changes in its design and features. Although both IDM and Windows 11 work quite smoothly, users are facing problems with IDM on Windows 11. Let us learn more about these issues and discuss their fixes and workarounds.
Here are a few things that you can do if you are unable to use IDM on Windows 11
- If your IDM is unable to work on Windows 11, you should check if you are using the latest version of the Internet Download Manager. The latest version of the Internet Download Manager is compatible with Microsoft Windows so if you are facing working problems regarding IDM on 11, there must be app-update-related issues.
- Sometimes, users also face problems if IDM or its previous patches already exist on your device. After installing Windows 11, uninstall the pre-installed version of the IDM, if any, to its patches.
- If you continue facing this problem, you can also reach out to the Microsoft customer executive and troubleshoot your problems. They will guide you with the easiest and most non-complicated solution.
These are the simple solutions to problems related to the working of IDM on Microsoft Windows. After following these steps, this problem should ideally resolve. Before you install the IDM on your device, ensure that you unpack and check the virustotal scan results included before installing. Remember, IDMs do make downloading easier, faster, and smoother, but at the same time, it also exposes your device to more viruses and external risk factors.
