Crdownload file open unconfirmed

When you download an installation file via Google Chrome and Firefox the browser will add .DOWNLOAD to the extension name of the file instead of Exe until the transfer is complete. In fact once the transfer is complete the file extension will automatically change to exe. However if the transfer was not completed properly or if the internet connection was lost during the transfer the extension .DOWNLOAD will remain as it is and the installation file will not open.

This is a common problem on computers with Windows operating systems. The main reason is that browsers change the file extension during installation. This is most common when downloading versions of Chrome (2017-2018) and sometimes we can see that .CRDOWNLOAD is added to the extension.

So there is no difference between unconfirmed.crdownload and download they are both incorrectly downloaded file extensions. If the file has been downloaded in this form it should be manually changed afterwards to make it work. This is because files with this extension will not open on the computer.

The way to fix this problem is to replace the download in the extension with exe. This will open the installation file. However if you don’t know how to change the file extension you can watch the video below to learn how to do it.
