Any specific website?

(I see some download links on this bug tracker broken, but those seem to serve content-disposition: inline...)

As expected it works just fine from home.

I'll do further testing tomorrow at work using http://test.greenbytes.de/tech/tc2231/#attonly (old but seems great for testing various cases).

For now it seems something in Windows 10 that can block pretty much ALL Chrome downloads while IE, Edge and FF are still working fine ?

Even just that simple test doesn't work. Reverting back to an older Chrome version does work (59 not sure where I can find 67 maybe ?). I have co-workers having the same issue as well apparently as an external user inside another company.
Seems some kind of Windows 10 deployment option all along with a recent Chrome version may cause this issue. Maybe something like using a en-US Windows 10 version with the fr-FR language pack ??? I tried using an admin account or to temporarily disable my anti-virus and it still fails.

That testcase WFM on 68.0.3440.106 on Windows 10, Version 10.0.16299.611....
Could you grab a netlog for it, as per:

https://www.chromium.org/for-testers/providing-network-details

Please find the attached log file when testing using http://test.greenbytes.de/tech/tc2231/#attonly 

Even an hyperlink to a ZIP file doesn't have any effect (using F12 Network I see the http request happens) but it has no effect and doesn't show anything.

It seems that as soon as the content is not intended to be shown directly but the browser it is "blocked".

It appears you're using a local proxy, based on the network logs.

Have you tried without that proxy?

Changes nothing (except I can test only on internal sites) but I had this issue on all sites (internet, intranet, even local development).
F12 Network seems to show it works fine. For example an hyperlink to a PDF file won't produce anything once clicked but if using "open in a new tab" the PDF does show up.

For now it seems that the transfer works fine, the browser see that this is not HTML content and that it should trigger the PDF viewer or some other external application but for some reason it fails to do so...

I'll see if I can use F12 Network to spot a possible difference between an older version that works and this one but for now it seems to happen later.

BTW I see sometimes a message such as "Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/zip". Not sure if it could be related ???

The NetLog doesn't show anything particularly odd, but we also don't seem to put information about whether it went to download in the NetLog.

Maybe downloads folks will have some thoughts on where to look from here.

Ah sorry. I just saw an admin an it turns out that it could be a policy that is blocking Chrome downloads on some machines ?? I'm waiting a bit to test if it's ok and will keep you informed.

Really sorry and thanks much for the support. I confirm it seems we had a policy unexpectedly triggered on some machines and that was blocking Chrome 68 downloads on some machine. Have a nice day and thanks again.
