Download problems (when trying to download large files)
Hello, I have a curious problem on my Windows 11 PC.
I am connected directly to the LAN via ethernet to a 900Mbps fiber connection.
However, when I try to download largish files (several hundred MB or several GB) from sites like zoom, wetransfer, facebook, I often get a generic "download error" message.
I've tried download the same files on Edge and Chrome, logging out and in, opening a private/incognito window, resetting the internet settings and running diagnostics. I've also checked the internet speed and latency.
The downloads often start okay, but stop after sometimes 30-40MB or maybe even getting to 60%. Sometimes I can click on resume, but the download begins from scratch. Sometimes, I will try again a few hours or a day later, and the file(s) *might* download to completion.
Other downloads (of small image files, say) or streaming of YouTube, Netflix, etc. never seems to have a problem.
I know for sure that it's a PC configuration problem because I tried the same downloads on a Windows 10 laptop, connected to the same router via WiFi, and all the files downloaded (albeit slightly more slowly) without a hitch.
Any ideas or suggestions on what I can do next?
Thanks,
Gary
PS *I* am the IT person at our group. I have admin access to the router and the PC, of course.

Browser privacy issue
Good day, old person here.....
I am using Windows 10, do I need both Google Chrome AND Microsoft Edge? I sometimes receive a message from Auslogics saying I may have a privacy issue and that I should look at my privacy settings... but as there is no indication of what the privacy setting should be or what has changed, I don't know what I am supposed to be checking.
Patience and any help offered would be much appreciated!
Thanks & regards

Spinner GIF Keeps Spinning on Some Websites
Whenever I go to a site that requires some time to load, e.g., http://www.fpcanada.ca/findaplanner
I keep seeing the spinnning GIF wheel as I wait for the web page to load, which it does not and then times out..
So far, it happens with Edge, Google, and Firefox. I have restarted several times and have cleared the cache, flushed DNS, reset the browsers, completed a deep clean, registry clean, and optimized internet settings with SpeedBoost, run two anti-virus malware programs (Windows Secuity and Malware Bytes), and have run memory diagnostics. All with the same result - no change.
Windows and the browsers are all up-to-date.
When I inspect the Javascript (>by right-clicking on the Spinner), I see that the Spinner is there and seems to be waiting.
Any suggestions?
How to convert a 32-bit application to 64-bit?
Looking at the report from Revo Uninstaller of applications on my windows laptop running Windows 10, I can see most of them are the 64-bit version but quite a few of them (including Auslogics Boostspeed 13, Adobe Digital Editions 4.5, Kaspersky, Dropbox to name a few) are showing as the 32-bit version.
I believe if these were the 64-bit version they will run better and faster.
Is there anything I can do to convert them from 32-bit to 64-bit?
Please advise.
Thanks!
