Windows 10: Turn On or Off Download Save Prompt in Microsoft Edge

Starting with Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14361, the download notification in Microsoft Edge will include filename, download status, and site domain on separate lines.

 

When I check the selection there is no downloads section.

 

Hello ironfist, *Smile

What build of Windows 10 do you have installed?

Using Option 2 I downloaded the .REG file and was trying to follow the rest of the tutorial. The instruction to Save the .REG file to my Desktop does not work, as I do not get a "Save to" feature in the menu. The closest thing to that is "Send to", which I used, but the file does not show in the Desktop list. This is unfortunate, because I cannot double click on it to merge. Double clicking on the file in the Downloads folder gets no result.

Please help by providing screenshots like were provided for Option 1. I do not wish to sign up at MS.

Thank you for the quick response. I followed the tutorial you provided to find my Windows 10 build, and I have it now for you: 14393.351

I believe this is the latest build, as my PC updated the OS this afternoon.

 

Great thread. But is there a way to auto open as well? I mean after the download completes I would like it to just open like it does in chrome.
Thanks

If you Windows 10 build 15007 or later installed, you could click/tap on the Open or Run option in the download prompt to have the download automatically run when it has finished downloading.

 

Awesome to see that it is an option, too bad I am not on insider builds. Guess I'll just have to wait.

 

Luckily, it won't be much longer. The Windows 10 Creators Update will be released to the general public sometime in April 2017.

 

Cool. I am tempted to get on insider ring, but I am hesitant, concerned mostly about gaming issues that may arise from unstable builds and it is my only PC atm.

 

Hmmm I guess I didn't explain well. So I do have the creator's update now but I guess it still does not have the feature. For example when I click on a .jpg to download, Chrome has a setting to remember just to open with the default app every time I click on any .jpg in the browser. It is a minor issue but was hoping they would include it in the update as it does cut out one less click of the mouse.

 

You should be able to right click on images to have a "Save picture as" type option available.

Only downloadable links (ex: files) will have the save prompt seen in the tutorial though.

 

I had the same experience. After down loading and registering the .reg file the Downloads folder was created with a dword “EnableSavePrompt” created with the value of 1.
However my experience wasn't as successful, the save as option is not available even after restarting the lap.
What next?
