    Hallo.
    I am new to the Forum and dont know if I am posting this in the right place.
    Lately I been having a problem with MajorGeeks Screenshot. When i click on the Screenshot it opens up the download menu instead of opening the picture. It does not go that all the time and it just started recently. I am running Windows 11 and using the Edge browser. I have used other browsers and it does the same thing. I checked everything that I know but cant find or see anything wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    What do you press to get a screenshot? (special program, print screen key or snipping tool)

    OK, but that is not what i meant. Maybe I did not explain it correctly. If I want to download a program from MajorGeeks it brings up the DOWNLOAD menu. Now, if I click on the MajorGeek SCREESHOT to see what the program looks like it brings up the DOWNLOAD menu instead of showing the SCREENSHOT. It does that for quiet a few programs and for some it brings up the picture. Screenshot (5).png

    Your image is too small for me to see.
    So as an example: if you go here https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/aurora.html
    and click on any of the screenshots at the bottom, instead of getting a popup box with the image, you get a download button instead?

    What browser are you using? Have you tried a different browser to see if the results are the same?

    I am using the Edge browser and yes I have tried Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Vivaldi and Pale Moon and they ALL do the same thing but not every time. On some it opens up the Image and on some it brings up the Download menu instead of the Image.

    Okay, I don't have Edge installed - I'm running Windows 7 and couldn't see the point of installing it on a non-supported version of Windows.

    Since it is intermittent, it will be hard to figure out. It seems like something is kicking in from time to time that is stopping the popup image from appearing. I don't suspect it to be an addon/extension because you wouldn't have the same things in 6 different browsers.

    If I think of something to look at and/or try, I'll post in this thread.
