The Chromebook download error mostly occurs when your Chromebook is being used for a longer period of time without shutting down.

While you are using your Chromebook device to browse the Internet, it stores temporary files as cache memory. Sometimes, this cache memory can interfere with some of the processes. Restarting your Chromebook should delete some temporary files and fix other background errors. If the problem persists, proceed to the next method. Look for the Reset Settings button and click on it. Sometimes, you may get an error message describing the situation. However, in other cases, the system doesn't tell you why you can't install Chrome.
