Yandex Browser is becoming more and more popular, bypassing other web browsers in terms of the number of installations. Stylish and modern interface, combined with high speed of work and unique functions, attracts more and more users who want to change their usual Internet explorer to a more interesting one. Unfortunately, some of them may encounter an unpleasant situation: Yandex Browser cannot be installed.
Often this problem does not have any serious reasons:
- Low internet speed;
- Errors when uninstalling the previous version of the web browser;
- Full hard drive;
- Viral activity.
All this can be easily eliminated and the installation of Yandex Browser can be repeated.
Bad internet connection
The poor quality of the network connection can indeed be the reason why Yandex Browser cannot be installed. Usually we download the installation files of certain programs, and then we can install them even without an Internet connection. In the case of some web browsers, the situation is a little different: the user downloads a small file from the developer's site (in our case, Yandex Browser), which is perceived by many as an installation file. In fact, when launched, it sends a request to Yandex servers to download the latest stable version of the program to your PC. Accordingly, at low Internet speed, the download process can be stretched out or even interrupted.
In this case, there are two options for solving the problem: wait until the Internet speed improves, or download the offline installer. If you decide to use the second method, then you should know that the browser installation file, which does not require a network connection, weighs more than the file mentioned above. However, it can be run on all computers where there is no network connection, and the browser will still be installed.
Incorrect deletion of the previous version of the browser
Perhaps you have previously used Yandex Browser and subsequently uninstalled it, but you did it wrong. Because of this, the new version refuses to install over the old one. In this case, you need to completely remove the program using special software.
If you have enough skills, you can independently clean the system of files and folders created by the browser in different directories.
The main folder is located here:
C: \ Users \ USER_NAME \ AppData \ Local \ Yandex \ YandexBrowser
Be careful when deleting a custom folder User Data all your data will be lost: bookmarks, settings, passwords and other information.
Additional folders are located at the following addresses:
C: \ Users \ USER_NAME \ AppData \ LocalLow \ Yandex
C: \ Users \ USER_NAME \ AppData \ Roaming \ Yandex
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Yandex
C: \ Program Files \ Yandex
This is usually enough to install a new version of the browser. As a last resort, you can delete the registry settings related to Yandex Browser. We do not recommend editing the registry for inexperienced PC users and we recommend exporting it before making changes.
Low hard disk space
Perhaps the browser cannot install for such a simple reason as lack of space. The solution to this problem is as simple as possible - go to " Add and remove programs"And get rid of unnecessary software.
Also, go through all the folders in use and delete unnecessary files, for example, watched movies, downloaded files from torrents, etc.
Viruses
Sometimes a virus that has infected a computer prevents some or all of the programs from being installed. Run an antivirus scan or use the Dr.Web CureIt utility to check the system and remove dangerous and malicious software.
These were all the main reasons why Yandex Browser cannot install on your PC. If these tips did not help you, then write in the comments the specific problem that you encountered, and we will try to help.
Windows is the most extensible operating system in which we can put almost any application from third-party developers. However, installation problems are not alien to her, they periodically arise for each application, but most often concern instant messengers and web browsers. Often, after trying to install Yandex browser, it becomes clear that it is not installed in Windows 7 or 10, although the computer and OS meet the minimum requirements for a web browser. This is the most complete instruction for troubleshooting problems with installing Yandex browser, there are solutions to all possible malfunctions.
If Yandex browser is not installed, most likely the problem lies in the system or access to servers.
Why can't we install Yandex browser:
- Poor network connection quality: too high ping, slow internet speed;
- The installation process is blocked by an antivirus application;
- The firewall mistakenly considered the Yandex browser process to be dangerous;
- This user cannot add any program to the system due to the setting of access rights or the setting of parental control;
- There is not enough space on the system logical drive to download and install Yandex browser - you need at least 500 MB of free memory;
- During the uninstallation of the previous version of the web browser from Yandex, an error occurred or it was uninstalled incorrectly;
- The system is infected with viruses that have disrupted the normal operation of the OS. The problem of viral infection is familiar to both the seven and the ten;
- There is no access to Yandex servers where the browser is downloaded from. Access to Yandex is blocked in a local, corporate network or at the level of a state provider. It is also possible that the servers are undergoing technical work;
- System files are corrupted due to user misconduct, accidental crash, or viruses.
If you cannot install Yandex browser, there is one of the listed reasons. In order to be able to put the web browser on the system, we need to fix the root of the problem. This is what we will do now.
What to do if Yandex Browser is not installed
We have selected ways to fix all the reasons why Yandex browser is not installed. Usually, the root cause of the failure can be eliminated manually in a few clicks.
If there is a guess why the installation does not work, we can go straight to the appropriate section. Otherwise, we iterate over the methods from the instructions one by one. By the end of the article, the Yandex web browser will probably be installed in the system.
Poor connection quality
With a poor quality Internet connection, the installation of the web browser becomes much more difficult. The web installer tries to download the files it needs to install, but it cannot do so due to poor internet connection speed or too high ping.
Quite often, it is not possible to install Yandex browser due to the fact that it is distributed in the form of an online installer. We download a small file from the site, weighing about 1 MB. After launching it, the application detects a suitable version of the web browser and starts downloading it. Everything would be fine, but in the case of a poor network connection, the online installer cannot download the files for installing the browser.
Important! To check the speed of the Internet, we can use the website Speedtest.net. If the ping is less than 50-70 ms, and the speed reaches at least 1-2 Mbps, the quality of the connection can be considered satisfactory. If the result gives a speed of about 200 Kbps, the ping is higher than 100 ms, or the site does not load at all, the problem is definitely on the Internet.
What can we do:
- Wait until the normal quality of Internet access is restored. There are no longer any providers that provide access to the network at a speed of less than 3-5 Mbit / s. Most likely, the decrease in Internet speed is a temporary condition and the provider will soon fix the problem;
- Download offline installer. If Yandex browser is not installed on the 7 (Windows 7) or Windows 10 in the usual way, it makes sense to download the full installation file. It contains all the necessary files in order to put a web browser on the system and does not require an Internet connection during the installation process. We can download it from official site... If the traffic is limited, we can download the file even on another computer (at work or from a friend), and then transfer it to the desired PC using a flash drive. Offline installer weight - 109 MB;
- Disable other processes actively using the Internet. If high quality video is turned on on the computer, downloading is in progress, or mining is active, the Yandex browser installer loses access to the Internet, and accordingly, it is not installed in the system. We can wait a little until the download is complete or temporarily stop the above processes until the browser is installed;
- Disable proxy and VPN. If Windows uses proxy access settings, the installation often hangs. It's not so much about VPNs and proxies themselves, but about the fact that many companies provide low-quality services. Access to the network is often lost due to an increase in server ping, connection of a large number of users, or a low dedicated speed. We recommend that you disable such applications for a while or change the server in them.
Blocking installation by antivirus
It may be that Yandex browser is not installed due to antivirus. Antivirus software scans the system in real time, preventing virus infection. However, sometimes all antiviruses fail and identify completely safe programs as dangerous applications. They automatically block the installer.
What is the way out of the situation? Manually tell the antivirus that this application can be trusted.
Guide (Example based on Avast antivirus):
Windows Firewall is not working properly
The essence of the problem is similar to the previous point, the firewall is blocking the installer. The difference is that this tool may not block the launch of the application, but block its access to the network. The firewall itself also needs to be told that we trust Yandex as a developer. The way of introducing exceptions is different from antivirus.
Yandex browser is not installed, what to do:
- Press the key combination Win + S.
- Enter the word "firewall" and select "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security".
- Click on the "Rules for outbound connection" item.
- In the column on the right, click on the "Create rule" button.
- We click on the item "For the program" and click "Next".
- Next to the line "Program path" click on the "Browse ..." button, specify the path to the installation file and click on the "Next" button.
- Set the selection in front of the entry "Allow the connection" and click on "Next".
- We set an active rule for all profiles and click "Next" again.
- We set any name and complete the procedure with the "Finish" button.
- We reboot the computer.
When Yandex Browser is not added due to firewall settings, one new rule should fix the problem. True, you still need to check other existing rules, suddenly there is an entry among them that blocks the work Yandex.exe... This entry must be deleted.
Installation of programs is prohibited for a specific user
It's easy to guess why Yandex browser is not installed on Windows 7 in a corporate network. The reason is that the administrator has blocked access to the installation of applications for the user. Using an account with limited rights, there is no way to install a web browser from Yandex, at least without the knowledge of the administrator. But we can send a request to the network administrator, if we prove the need to install the application, he will independently install the application or issue the necessary rights to the user.
Another similar reason is that parental controls are enabled for this profile. A manager account can restrict certain actions for a managed profile. The restrictions may include blocking the installation of programs. To install the program, we turn to the parents. They enter the password for the account, thereby allowing the installation.
In both cases, you won't be able to do anything on your own, we can only send a request for permission to install. Given that the Yandex browser is very useful, the request is unlikely to be denied.
Low logical disk space
It doesn't matter how much memory is on the hard disk and how much of the logical drives D, E, F, etc. It is only important to have free space on the system disk (where Windows is installed). It should have at least 500 MB of free space, but this will not be enough for the stable operation of the system. For Windows 7, 10 to work properly, the disk must have at least 10-20 GB of free space.
How to free up memory if Yandex browser is not installed on Windows:
Healthy! If a laptop is in use, we can free up a significant amount of memory with one command. We make a RMB click on Start, select "Command line (administrator)" and enter the command powercfg -h off... Thus, memory is freed in a size equal to the amount of RAM. The only problem is that hibernation mode will not be available.
Wrong, partially deleted previous browser from Yandex
Sometimes the Yandex web browser is not added to the system due to an incorrect uninstallation of the browser in the past. You may have manually deleted the folder C: \ Users \ PC name \ AppData \ Local \ Yandex \ YandexBrowser and that is all. In fact, there are at least 4 more directories with browser files and a ton of registry entries.
We do not recommend looking for web browser files manually, it is better to use iObit Uninstaller, it removes all residual files from the registry and disk. We can do this, since when manually uninstalling the program, it does not disappear from the list of installed ones, that is, it must be available in this application.
What to do if Yandex browser is not installed:
Now is the time to try installing Yandex browser into the system, because all residual files from the previous application have been completely removed.
Infecting the system with viruses
Every day there are more and more viruses on the Internet, so there is nothing surprising in their frequent infection. There are many types of viral code that damage the system or deprive the user of the right to use it to the fullest. If the browser is not installed on the system, it may be due to viruses.
It is not so easy to fix the problem with viruses, but now there is an effective program Dr.Web CureIt. It weighs very little and copes with most types of infections. Another advantage is that it is an antivirus scanner that does not conflict with the standard antivirus. It is enough to run it and remove all found viruses.
Yandex servers are blocked or unavailable
It often fails to put Yandex browser into the system because access to the company's servers is blocked. Blocking can be at different levels: local, corporate, and state. We propose to consider each separately.
What to do to bypass the blockage:
Another reason for the failure is that Yandex servers are currently unavailable. Most likely, work is already underway to restore the servers, and soon the technical specialists will fix everything. From us, as from ordinary users, nothing is required but patience.
Damage to system files
Windows is susceptible to various negative phenomena, including the violation of the integrity of the OS system files. The least common cause of damage is the user, since rarely someone dares to change access rights and edit files. Mostly this is the result of a system failure, program conflicts or viruses.
It is not difficult to restore the integrity of the system, because there is a special tool in Windows sfc.
What do we have to do:
Now we know all the reasons why Yandex browser is not installed on Windows 7, 8, 10. Moreover, we figured out effective ways to fix these problems. Now it will not be difficult to install Yandex web browser. Even when faced with difficulties, we know what to do.
It should be noted that Yandex Browser frequently updates functions and launches the latest version.
Many users use various programs in order to view interesting web pages on the Internet.
But if you have a desire to install a new browser, then you will have to download the browser from the official portal. Experts say that in this way, you can protect your computer from the invasion of malicious viruses.
This article tells in detail about the methods of installing the Yandex browser. Due to certain reasons, a problem occurs in the system and, accordingly, the browser is not installed. This may happen due to problems with the Internet connection, insufficient hard disk space, a system failure when downloading installation files, a virus attack on a personal computer, or incorrect deletion of the previous version.
When going to the official portal, you need to download the file provided in this system. After starting the process and installing the software, the system crashes. If you have problems with Internet access, then it is better to solve this issue and then download the update. Since the installation process may be interrupted at any time and you will not be able to install this application.
Experts advise users of the Yandex browser to use the offline version. An installer like this will allow you to install the software even with a poor internet connection. The offline version is available on this official portal http://browser.yandex.ru/download/?os=win&full=1.
After clicking on the link, you can easily install the browser, which will load automatically.
When there is not enough free space on your computer, you need to take the following measures. First, you need to empty the trash, as well as disks, delete files manually, uninstall the program. To start the utility, in order to clear the HDD, you will have to go to a special program called "Windows Explorer". The shortcut that is on the desktop and shortcut bar will allow you to find the option.
By clicking on the icon of the disk where the operating systems are installed, you must go to the "Clean" option. At this time, the system scans the selected object for the presence of certain information. Therefore, by deleting unnecessary information on your computer, you can run any other program. Accordingly, you will have to tick off all links that will no longer be needed in the future and click on "Cleanup".
Should the data be deleted
A specially created recycle bin will allow you to delete unnecessary files, but with the guarantee of recovering a certain document. This function exists for the category that wants to restore information in the future. It should be noted that while the data is in the recycle bin, you will not be able to use disks that are overloaded. In this case, you will have to completely empty the trash or delete a certain part of unnecessary files.
In order to free up a personal computer, you can use another method.
When you go to the download directory, you can examine in detail the files that take up a certain space. Then, you need to open the "start" option, go to the control panel and carry out the process of launching the "Remove the program" utility.
The computer is infected with viruses, what to do
Very often, users complain that their computer is infected with a huge number of viruses. In this case, you will have to install an anti-virus program and then thoroughly clean your computer from malicious information. By completing all of these steps, you can easily install the software and take advantage of the latest features.
It consistently ranks second among browsers in popularity among Russian-speaking Internet users. The browser has quite a few advantages: quick access to all Yandex application services, Turbo mode, built-in anti-virus system, the ability to install additional plugins and add-ons, and many other functions.
Every month from 900 to 1100 users search the Internet for an answer to the question: “Why Yandex browser is not installed”.
The most common causes of crashes or errors during the installation process are:
- Low speed internet.
- Insufficient free disk space.
- Software conflict.
- Viruses in the system or incorrect configuration of Windows built-in protection.
Slow internet speed or download crashes
There are 2 options for installing Yandex browser: online and offline. The difference lies in the size of the installation file and the subsequent installation of the application on the computer.
When downloading the installer from the page https://browser.yandex.ru/, the user receives a compact file. After starting the application, the startup system files are copied to the personal computer. Next, the Yandex server is accessed and the necessary additional files are downloaded in the background, that is, without the participation and demonstration of the process to the user. The size of the installation file in this case is only 679 KB for the latest version 18.7.0 to date.
For cases of Internet access with a low download speed, it is recommended to first download the full installation file, and then complete the installation of the program. The file size for version 18.7.0 is 86.1 MB. Downloading and installing from the downloaded application occurs without an online call to the server. Thus, the probability of errors during the installation process is reduced to zero. To download the source file offline, follow the link https://browser.yandex.ru/download.
The resulting file must have an ".exe" extension. Otherwise it won't start.
Free disk space eaters
If there is not enough free space to try to install the browser, the system gives an error and prompts you to clean up the hard disk.
Important! To install Yandex browser, there must be at least 400 MB of free space on the disk.
First of all, you should pay attention to the contents of the "Basket". Cleaning is done by right-clicking on the application shortcut and selecting the "Empty Trash" item.
The next item to check is the downloads folder and "My Documents". You can free up used space by simply moving important information and documents required to save to another disk. For these purposes, experienced users create archive folders to store the necessary distributions or user files on the last disk, or set up synchronization with cloud storage. Fortunately, Yandex browser users have almost instant access to Yandex.Disk.
Another "eater" of space is the Temp folder on the main C: drive. It is also recommended to monitor its contents and periodically clean it.
A more thorough cleaning of the space can be performed with built-in Windows tools. To do this, you need to open "My Computer". Select the disk on which you plan to install the browser and right-click to bring up the auxiliary menu. The last item is "Properties". The transition to the start of the process occurs by pressing the "Erase disk" button. Depending on the installed operating system and the power of the computer, the analysis process may take several minutes. When the preliminary collection of information is complete, a window will appear where you can select the different types of data to be deleted.
Cleaning is started by pressing the "OK" button.
Software conflict
The third popular reason is a conflict between the installed program and existing applications on the PC. Often, when you uninstall programs, "tails" remain on the hard disk in the folders of system files. In manual mode, search and delete allows more errors to appear. Therefore, it is recommended to use special programs that automatically look for conflicting files or entries in the system registry.
One of the most popular is CCleaner.
The program allows you to detect errors and violations of the integrity and correctness of the registry. To do this, use the menu section of the same name and the button "Search" for problems. If erroneous entries are found, the user will be prompted to correct the selection.
Also, the application allows you to clean up the hard disk space correctly or remove unnecessary / conflicting applications.
The presence of viruses in the system or the work of built-in Windows protection
Antivirus programs such as Dr.Web, Kaspersky, Avast and Comodo have proven themselves well for detecting viruses. The antivirus program must always be installed and updated on the user's computer to the latest version of the program and the virus database.
To search for and neutralize viruses, you need to run a system scan and, after completion, try to start the installation of Yandex browser.
If the problem persists and the application cannot be installed in the absence of viruses, it is recommended to try running the installer in administrator mode.
The launch occurs when the "Run as administrator" item is selected. The menu is called by clicking the right mouse button on the name of the installer file.
Maintaining the operating system in working order, the absence of garbage and dubious, rarely used programs and systematized data storage allow you to avoid time-consuming searching for answers about the reasons why not only Yandex browser is not installed, but also many other useful applications.
