Here is a solution that does NOT require a data wipe or factory reset (that instantly worked for me on Note 2).

1. Go to > Settings
2. Go to > Application Manager
3. You should have 3 choices to view the files (that you can select near the top): "Downloaded", "Running" and "All". Select > "All" so that you can view everything.
4. Scroll and find "Downloads" and open it, then if you see a button called "Enable" then click it to enable the downloads (if it first read "Disable" then don't push it because your downloads should already be Enabled).
5. That is it! After I Enabled Downloads, my problem was solved.

thank you it worked actually what happened with me was when i was updating subway surfers then the download didn't start so i held the subway surfers process and then i tapped on app info then to remove subway surfers from the notification bar i unknowingly disabled download manager



then i did the following
went to download manager in application manager>all and enabled download manager then all went right with me


this forum really took me out of a big problem
than you :D
 
Same problem on note 2. Solution: i went to Settings->Application Manager->All tab. I scrolled to the bottom. Download Manager was diabled. I enabled it.

THANK YOU!!! I have been having this problem for weeks now & had no idea why!! I was about to restore my phone settings which is the last thing I wanted to do!! I can't believe it was so simple!!
 
Cheers mate! This seems to be a common problem as I am on a Nexus 4 Android 4.2.1 and your solution did the job :)
 
On my sansumg galixy s 3 the play store will not work because when I click on it, it amendly shuts down please tell me how to make it work.
 
i have this problem with my HTC cha cha..i havent got the option to enable "download manager"
i suspect though that the problem was intiated when i cleared the data for google services.everytym i try connect any network [wireles...data bundles..] it pops up.



im soo annnoyed. :(:mad::'(:(

You saved me from a data wipe thanks so much! I had read so much about this issue and seen so many different fixes but this nice and simple solution worked like a dream. Phew. Now off to find a decent app that backs up all my stuff in case I ever need to do a factory reset in the future. Pure genius. Thanks again! :D :D
 
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and the solutions given did not work for me. I checked the Download Manager, it was already Enabled. I cleared Data in all Google applications but I still got the error message.
Samsung Customer Care advised to do a Factory Reset. I was reluctant as I could see everyone else in the forum had no success. So I went ahead anyway. I noticed that the error message only appeared once I Restored all my backup data from Kies. So I did the Factory Reset again but this time I Restored my backup data from Kies section by section, using the phone for 5 minutes after each Restore, to see which section contained the corrupted file. In the end I was able to Restore all backup data - no corruption file found - no more error message. For some reason the phone did not like the automatic Restore, I had to do it manually section by section.
I hope this helps for anyone still experiencing problems.
 
thank you for this.... had the same problem and I was beginning to think it was a hopeless case. but i was able to search this forum and now my problem is fixed. thanks a lot.
:D
 
For those using jellybean 4.2.1 on nexus 10, the option to enable the Download Manager is under Settings/Apps/Download Manager
