    How can I set EDGE to by default download to D:\Downloads


    Hi:

    I do not use Edge, but here is one suggested method (it dates from Aug 2015, but I presume the steps are still valid):

    Set Default Hard Drive

    There are Apps that will move installed programs and change the registry pointers for that program too.

    You can also change the default download location in windows. I found that not all programs like to download on D: drive

    My personal choice is the set download location during install process.

    And if worse comes to worse you can always use a symbolic command like the mklink command.

    Unable to set default browser

    • Does this issue happens while you try to set other browser as default too or is it specific to specific browser?

    Any browser.

    Already did the steps you suggested. It's some kind of bug where it's impossible to set a default browser at all.

    I heard elsewhere from one other user     that it seems to be a problem with upgrading to 10 on the SP3. Sounds very specifc.
