Windows 10 default download file folder

Hi Janice,

The file path of your Downloads folder may have changed that is why the items that you've downloaded using Microsoft Edge always goes to a different file path. We recommend that you check the file path of your Downloads folder itself to see if it's in the
default path. To do this, follow these steps:

• Open File Explorer.
• Go to this file path: C:\Users\<your username>.
• Right-click the Downloads folder, and the click Properties.
• Go to the Location tab.
• Check if the file path inside the text is correct. The file path should be:
  C:\Users\<your username>\Downloads.

If the file path is correct, kindly answer the following questions for us to provide you the proper troubleshooting steps:

• When did the issue start?
• Were there any changes made on your computer before encountering the issue?
• Does the issue occur when you download items using other web browsers like Internet Explorer?

We hope to hear from you soon.
