Yandex does not want to be installed. Browser not working properly

When you go to the official browser download website, the system prompts you to download a small file - the installer. Its purpose is to start the process of downloading and subsequent unpacking and installation of the program.

If you have bad Internet (only this time or always) - you are unlikely to be able to install the Yandex browser in this way, since the installation process can be interrupted each time and urgently completed as a result of a break.

In this case, users need to download another installer - the so-called offline version. It has a much larger size, but it allows you to install a browser from the Yandex developer even on those personal computers that currently do not have a valid Internet connection at all.

Although this program has received a lot of advantages compared to its predecessor Internet Explorer, it is less familiar than the popular Chrome or Yandex Browser. It is the latter that can be easily made the default browser.

We assign Yandex as the default program through the Parameters section

Many users are interested in how to set Yandex.Browser by default in Windows 10. The developers of the new operating system have provided several ways for this case. The simplest of them is the assignment of the program through the Parameters section. To do this, perform the following steps:

A stylish interface and high speed have made Yandex.Browser quite popular. A large number of the user use it as the main one on his personal computer. Unfortunately, during its installation, you may encounter various unpleasant situations.

Poor internet connection quality

Unsatisfactory connection quality can prevent the installation of this program. Why is Yandex.Browser not installed? The answer is simple. Users download a small file that, when launched, sends a special request to Yandex's remote server that is required to obtain a browser. As a result, a low connection speed will certainly stretch the download, or completely interrupt it.


To get out of this situation, you need to wait until the speed and quality of the Internet connection improves, or download the full version of the offline installer file. When choosing the second option, keep in mind that it is much larger in size.

Error in the previous version of the browser

It may be that you have already used this browser before, but the system made mistakes when deleting it. This often becomes the reason that the new version of Yandex.Browser is not installed. To solve the problem, you need to remove all the files left on the PC using special software, such as Revo uninstaller.

Experienced users can be advised to clean the system of "junk" files. The folder is located here: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Yandex\YandexBrowser.

As a rule, its removal is enough to install the latest version of the browser. Alternatively, removing some of the settings in the registry related to this application should bring the expected result.

Registry errors

Launch the registry editor by pressing Win + R on the keyboard. We write regedit in the window that opens and click "OK".

Open the search window with the F3 key. We enter Yandex into it and click "Find next".


You need to delete all Yandex data found. To do this, hover over the desired parameter, press the right mouse button and "Delete".


Not enough hard disk space

Sometimes it is impossible to install Yandex.Browser because there is not enough space on the hard drive. You can find out by going to "My Computer", hover over the drive we need, for example, "C", click right button mouse and select "Properties".


To free up space, uninstall programs you haven't used in a while. To do this, go to "Start" - "Control Panel" - "Programs and Features". On unnecessary software, right-click and "Delete".

is not only a tool for displaying sites, but also a tool for downloading files from the network to a computer. Today we will analyze the main reasons why Yandex.Browser does not download files.

A variety of factors can affect the inability to download information from Yandex.

Reason 1: Not enough hard disk space

Perhaps the most common reason why a file cannot be saved to a computer.

Open windows explorer in section "This computer", and then check the status of the disks: if they are highlighted in red, then you have a severe shortage of free space.

In this case, you have two options for getting out of the situation: either save the files to a free local disk, or free up space on the current disk so that there is enough space to download the file.

Reason 2: Slow network speed

Please also note that if your Internet connection is intermittent, the download will be interrupted, but the browser will not be able to resume it. In addition, download problems will be observed not only in Yandex, but also in any other web browser on the computer.

If you suspect that it is the “bad” Internet that is affecting the inability to download a file to your computer, if possible, connect to a different network to confirm or refute this guess. If the file was successfully downloaded when connected to another network, then you need to take care of improving or changing your Internet connection.

Reason 3: No specified folder for downloading files

By default, Yandex.Browser for downloading files is set to standard folder "Downloads", but as a result of a failure in the web browser or user actions, the folder may be replaced, for example, with a non-existent one, which is why file uploads cannot be performed.

Reason 4: Profile folder corruption

All information about the browser is stored on the computer in a special profile folder. This folder stores information about user settings, history, cache, cookies and other information. If for some reason the profile folder has been corrupted, this may cause you to be unable to download files from your web browser.

In this case, the solution may be to delete the current profile.

Please note that deleting a profile will erase all user information saved in the browser. If you do not have data synchronization activated, we recommend setting it up so that all information is not irretrievably lost.


Reason 5: viral activity

It's no secret that the vast majority of viruses are aimed specifically at damaging the browser. If the files on the computer from the Yandex web browser do not want to be downloaded, and in general the browser itself is unstable, we strongly recommend that you check the system for virus activity on your computer.

Reason 6: Incorrect browser operation

Actually, just as the previous reason can become the main factor in the incorrect operation of the browser, so can the conflict of other programs, system failures, and more. If the browser does not work correctly, it must be reinstalled.

Reason 7: download blocked by antivirus

Today, many anti-virus programs are quite aggressive in relation to browsers, taking their activities as a potential threat.

  1. To check if your antivirus is the culprit of the problem we are considering, simply pause it and then try to download the files to your computer again.
  2. If the download was successful, you will need to access the antivirus settings, where, depending on the manufacturer, you may need to allow downloading files in Yandex.Browser or not at all this program add to exclusion list antivirus program did not block the activity of the web browser.

Reason 8: System failure

In rare cases, the inability to download files to the computer can be negatively affected by the operating system, which for various reasons may not work correctly.


As you can see, there are enough ways to solve the problem with downloading files from Yandex.Browser. We hope these recommendations were useful to you, and you were able to return the popular web browser to normal operation.
