    Hi Anthony

    Open the Admin folder, do you then see a Downloads folder?

    No go! I still get the message after selleting “Run” that “Microsoft Edge could not access the download directory”.

    Then maybe, the issue is the browser.

    Have you tried downloading using a different browser ? IE: Chrome, Firefox ..... 

    Have you tried resetting Edge and then downloading anew ?

    Start \ Settings \ Apps & Features \ Microsoft Edge \ Advanced options 

    Terminate

    Repair

    Try downloading again

    And if the repair doesn't do the trick ....

    Terminate followed by Reset

    Try downloading again

    Sometime these apps get hosed.

    And Repair and\or Rest can do the trick.

    Anyway, it's easy to do.
