I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, 8.0.0 Oreo.

I'm having a problem that's extremely annoying!! It started 3 weeks ago. Whenever I open Google, Chrome, open a "new" tab, or click on a link, I get a popup message at the bottom that says . . .
"! 2 downloads failed. Details."

I haven't downloaded or tried to download anything. I have no other browsers installed. I've done everything!!!

1. In both, Google and Chrome, I've cleared history, cookies, and then restarted phone - still appears.
2. Put the phone in safe mode to eliminate any third party app interference - still appears.

I havent cleared the "data" because I will lose all my bookmarks. I know this from a past experience a long time ago where I cleared data.

I've attached is a few screen shots for clarification and understanding. This is so annoying that I'm willing to PAY anyone who gives me a solution!!

What does it say when you click details? Also have a look in the download section within Chrome and see if they show in there.

Click to expand...

Details take me to the downloads and nothing is listed there at all. I also checked the download folder and again nothing.
 
I believe the only solution is to reset chrome. Now you should be able to do this without losing your bookmarks.
  • Startup Chrome and make sure Sync Your Chrome data is switched on - if it's not turn it on and wait a few minutes for them to sync,
  • Next is to switch off Sync Chrome data,
  • Now go into the settings page of your phone, apps and force stop Chrome and clear the data,
  • Now startup Chrome once again and it will ask you to sign into your Google account and to turn on Sync - do so,
  • Over the next few minutes your bookmarks should sync.
If you want extra security you could sync your bookmarks to your PC'S Chrome.
