# I Can't Click "Choose a File" When Submitting

If nothing happens when you select "choose a file," there are a few steps to take to try troubleshooting. 

1. Ensure that your web browser is [up to date](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95414?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&sjid=3318927718138066233-NA) if automatic updates are not enabled

     2. If you restart your computer and ensure that "reopen windows" is NOT selected, this will allow all apps to fully update
2. Complete a hard refresh of your browser using the shortcut keys: 
     1. **Ctrl + F5** (Chrome or Explorer)
     2. **Ctrl + Shift + R** (Firefox)
     3. **CMD + Shift + R** (Chrome and Firefox for Mac users)
     4. **Option + CMD + E** (Safari)

4. Use a different browser altogether (preferably try using Google Chrome) 
5. Try submitting from a different device
6. Try opening a new incognito browser screen and then submitting
