Windows 10: default download location

Somehow after downloading a pdf file, when I went to open it, the file is saved on something called "microsoft office click to run integrated office".
This is not where I intended it to be, and I have never seen things download to this before.
Can someone tell me how to get my default back on their?
I am running windows 10.


Thank you in advance!!
