Hi, I have recently Reset my pc and I have noticed that my downloads instead of showing at the bottom of the screen (where it shows the name of recent downloads and 3 dots next to each download to cancel the download or open the file location, etc) pop up at the top near my extensions and I would like to make it so that they show at the bottom of the screen

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
In my 30+ years of dealing with them, the answer is clearly "no." They never respond to requests outside of their huge customers and never fix, or even acknowledge, issues reported on forums like this.
They just don't care.

These forums are not intended to be a channel for reporting issues to Microsoft or anyone else. They provide a platform where users can help other users, with (in some categories) occasional input by Microsoft staff.
Edge has a first rate system for 'reporting issues,' and every feedback item is seen by the Edge team, acknowledged and prioritized. The most popular ones make it into the Top Feedback Summary (https://aka.ms/MSEdgeTopFeedback), which is updated more or less weekly to reflect the progress made. You can submit feedback within the browser by pressing Alt-Shift-i. You'll see this in the latest summary:
| Under Review | Enable additional options for viewing downloaded files, such as the bottom of the window |
|---|
The answer is clearly not "no".
Right! But there is zero feedback from anything sent to the Microsoft reporting systems. And when you search for help from Microsoft you end up on forums like this (which is hosted by Microsoft) which make people believe they are getting "support" when in fact they are not.
That was my main point.

you cant remove it from the top right, this is miss from Microsoft I am going back to chrome browser ASAP
As usual and as we have found reporting feedback about blatantly stupid changes made to an app for no logical reason our feedback is ignored about such idiotic changes and nothing is ever corrected. The reasoning to move the list of downloads as a invasive dropdown list to the top was a huge mistake a ridiculous misstep that should have given users an option where and how this list would be placed on the screen. It used to be placed just above the horizontal taskbar where it did not impede other function or cover working area on the screen as it now does be a dropdown place at the upper regions on the screen. You have to ask yourself what idiot developer in a cubical felt this was a logical move? Now we need this corrected and not waiting months on end for a needed hopeful correction if it even happens at all. This is what happens when you lose control over your OS with developers who are clueless.

This is just not true. Reposting from a couple of days ago:

If you want to add your vote to those already cast for a change to the new behaviour, send feedback. Your rant here will not be seen by anyone from Microsoft; if it were, you'd probably be asked to moderate your language. Meanwhile, a workaround was published several weeks ago: So you don't like the new flyout menus? here is how you can disable them. Note that Start-up boost will negate any command line parameters you add.
