Hello noodle1,
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
If "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu in the Download Manager window are grayed then that means that the file is no longer in the original download location and they may have been removed by Anti-virus or cleanup software.
It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Please let us know if this solves your issue.

Hi guys, thank you for your reply, i am not talking about finding the download but on what to do when i start a download, I want to have the option to choose whether to open the file or to save it wherever i want (to be asked where to save it), is it possible?
Did you check the download settings?
