Hi @Techlogic Marketing ,

Welcome to our forum!

According to your description, i noticed that you don't want the download menu to pop up when you click to download the file, right? If so, please kindly understand that the Outlook tag here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client. I will provide some suggestions based on my experience, if the following does not help, it's recommended that you could contact the relevant technical support of the browser. Please follow the following steps:

1.Click on the "..." option at the top right of the download menu > click Downloads settings.

2.Then disable the Show downloads menu when a download starts option.

Hope the above help!

Hi Christy, I like this answer, however my version of Outlook does not have the Download Settings option. Its only allows to 'Clear All Download History'....and yes this is a very annoying box. I do a lot of downloading and it takes time away just to continue deleting!
