If you are getting the error for the first time, the simple solution is to restart the Stable Diffusion and Webui-user.bat file.
If the error occurs again, follow the fixes below.
1. Network Connection Issue
Check out the internet connection speed before starting installation.
Since the file is too large to Install, it takes 2-3 hours to install completely.
If you have an UnStable or slow internet connection, the file finds it challenging to download with all the dependencies and modules required for Stable Diffusion.
Everything is downloaded OK initially, but it won’t work correctly when you launch the Stable Diffusion Webui.

Now, you can download your Image without any errors.
4. Run Terminal As Administrator
Stable Diffusion refuses to load if it does not have Admin permission.
