2020-05-18T18:14:18+00:00 One thing, Microsoft is already ditching Microsoft Edge Legacy (the one you're using) with its Chromium based Edge browser.
If you're using Windows 10 version 1903, then try to go to Settings > Apps > Default App. On the right pane, head over to Web Browser section. Here select any other browser, lets say Internet Explorer
Download Microsoft Edge Chromium from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge

I would like to check the screenshot of this area. Also, you can click on the change button and select different folder or location. For example desktop.
And then try to download something. If it works, try to select Downloads folder again.

Also you can change the download location. Open Edge->Settings->Downloads->Change. Try changing it to a different folder other than downloads. Does that work?
