Internet explorer download blocking issue fix

Finally! got some quality time to spend on my blog after a long time. And this time I am going to tell you about one specific problem you will face when you have to deal with the Internet Explorer. If you are trying to configure a windows server (most probably on a virtual machine in Azure or other cloud platform) you will need internet explorer to download something from the internet (Probably another browser). In that case you will find that you will not be able to download anything from the internet. The following is the error that was shown when tried to download Mozilla Firefox browser.
In order to fix this issue we should allow the Internet Explorer to download files. To do that follow the below steps
1. Open Internet Options from the Tools menu (Tools -> Internet Options).
2. Go to security tab
3. Click Custom level
4. In the list of items, scroll down to Downloads
5. In the File Download setting select Enable.


6. Click Ok
7. Click Yes when asked for confirmation
That's all we need. Now you will be able to download any file. Phew :)
