Yandex Browser does not install on your computer: causes of the problem and solutions

The problem of the inability to install Yandex.Browser can be caused by various factors. Today we will try to consider as many of them as possible so that you can solve this unpleasant and fairly common problem in a short time.

Reason 1: Unstable network connection

In order for the browser to be installed on your computer, you must be connected to a high-speed and stable Internet network.

The point is that the distribution is a web installer that will still download all the necessary files to run the browser on the computer, and if the network connection is not there, it is slow or very unstable, you will encounter an installation error.

If possible, try connecting to another Internet source and downloading and installing the browser on your computer through it.

Reason 2: incorrect removal of the old version of the browser from the computer

If Yandex Browser has already been installed on your computer, then you should suspect that its residual files conflict with the new installer.

In this case, you will need to completely remove Yandex.Browser from your computer, and the key word here is “completely” - you will either need to manually additionally check the system for remaining files, folders and registry keys related to this web browser, or entrust the uninstallation software specially designed for this purpose, for example, the program Revo Uninsaller, which will perform a truly comprehensive removal of the browser from your computer.

After removing the browser, be sure to restart your computer, and only then proceed to install the latest version of the distribution.

Reason 3: Not enough disk space

Quite often, the browser cannot be installed due to the fact that there is simply not enough free space on the disk.

The fact is that, like many other browsers created on the basis of Chromium, by default Yandex.Browser can be installed exclusively on the system drive, that is, on the one on which Windows is installed, and, as a rule, most often for users this is the drive C.

Check if there is enough disk space to install Yandex Browser. If not, uninstall unnecessary software, and also transfer your media files to another local drive (if you have one).

Reason 4: Installer not working

We have repeatedly said on the site that programs must be downloaded exclusively from the official website of the developer. And this is due not even to the fact that you risk downloading a virus to your computer, but to the fact that you can download an outdated distribution kit that will not work correctly with your version of the operating system.

In general, in this case, the problem is easy to solve: you just need to download the latest Yandex.Browser installer from the manufacturer’s official website (you will find the download link at the end of the article).

Reason 5: viral activity

And finally, the final, but not least, reason for the impossibility of installing Yandex.Browser on your computer, which is possible virus activity on your computer.

You can check this only by scanning the system with an antivirus or a utility specially designed for this, for example, one of review of the best antivirus programs of 2021.

If a thorough scan reveals viruses on your computer, you will need to disinfect or quarantine them, and then restart your computer.

In some cases, viruses make irreparable changes to the system. As a result, even after removing them, the problem will not be solved. In this case, the system restore function can help you, which will allow you to roll back your computer to the time when the operating system was working normally.

Open the menu for etogo "Control Panel" and go to the section "Recovery".

Open item "Run System Restore" and wait for this function to load.

Available rollback points will be displayed on the screen. If there is one from a time when the computer was working correctly, you will need to use it and roll back Windows. System Restore will return all aspects of Windows to the selected period, except for user files such as music, videos, documents, etc.
