This one's a doozy!

[MrMatthew]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, 8.0.0, Oreo. I'm having a trivial problem that's annoying the crap out of me. Whenever I open Chrome, or open a "new" tab in Chrome I get a message at the bottom that pops up and says, "Two downloads have failed." "Details." And it has an exclamation mark on the far left, and an X on the far right. I haven't downloaded or tried to download anything at all, nor even tried to download sonething. I've done everything! Clearing history, cookies, cache completely, emptying the downloads and even restarting my phone. Yet it still pops up at the , vutton. I'm not using any other browser or have any other browser activated. This just started a few days ago. It's driving ne crazy!! I've done all that I know to remedy this problem with no luck. Even restarted my phone several times. Someone please help me in howing to get rid of this nonsence and aggravation!! Attached is a scren shot of what I'm seeing. Someone please help me get rid of this nuisance. Done everything I can think of. What can I do to rid it

That looks like your Google app, which looks like Chrome....
Go to settings, apps, Google, and choose clear cache. Restart your phone.

I cleared my cache from both Chrome and Google and restarted my phone, but the problem still exist. It pops up on both Chrome and Google browser. Any other suggestions? I'm about to pull out my hair, what little I have!! There has to be some way of getting rid of this nuisance!

put the phone in safe mode. this will eliminate any third party app from interfering with the phone. if it still is happening i would wipe data as well for those apps.

Ocnbrze, I did as you advised. Put my phone in safe mode, and it's still happening. I'm going to clear data but have a question. If I clear all data and cache, won't this make me lose all my bookmarks? And if so, would it be better to delete the app and re-install? I can't believe I'm the only one who has had this problem. Thanks for.your help thus far.

if you have your bookmarks in chrome then you are all good. those are saved not sure about other browsers however.
