Windows 10: my recent downloads are no longer showing in my download folder, I am only seeing downloads...

My downloads folder is missing all of my current downloads

:)

 

Download folder no longer located in This PC

Denis and Spunk - Many thanks to both of you for helping me out of this jam I got myself into. The folder shown in this picture has a location tab. It is empty

The folder in C:\Users\owner\Downloads does not have a location tab, BUT it has all the files in it

Lastly, the Downloads folder (with blue download arrow icon) that I somehow created is still on my desktop. When I right click on it, it has no Location tab. I also navigated to it at C:\Users\owner\Desktop\Downloads - no Location tab.

- - - Updated - - - Guys, I feel that this is somehow important knowledge, but I do not know what to do with it. As I just now said the Downloads Folder shown below is empty BUT has a location tab. Its location is listed as C:\Users\ei\Desktop\Downloads\Program Downloads\VideoPad. It DOES say restore default.

So, what do you suggest I do now?

Something wrong with downloads?

maybe list the specific file you are trying to download. I also just grabbed a download with no issues, and good speed.
