Wondering if anyone who has experienced this and know a fix. When your download a pdf that gets opened on chrome, it's a blank page. This is only happening on my computer I have tested this on my laptop and it was okay. I have gone to chrome://plugins to verify the settings are good. The one thing I believe it's problem with the software is because 1 out of 5 times I can refresh my page and the pdf will load. There is nothing wrong with the server serving the pdf. Is there a way where I can "repair" chrome?

Do you have an example link to a PDF this happens with that we can test?

What OS / Version are you using?

I'm seeing precisely the same issue on version 79.0.3945.79 for Linux. pdfs only show up about 1 in 5 refreshes. Oddly, I can't reproduce the problem in an incognito window, even though I have all extensions disabled. Turning off hardware acceleration did not help.
