The user already decided that they want to specify file destination on every download. Since the user already must go to the browser settings to enable 'Ask me for location' setting for file downloads there's absolutely no value in having that extra popup that list recent downloads and requires me to click Save As one more time. It is rather unfortunate that MS felt in necessary to add more UI interaction to the standard file download use case in Edge. Interestingly the same script ran much faster with Chrome than with Edge. With only minor modifications it worked in Chrome. I was forced to switch to Chrome, which does not have that intermediate dialog and opens the standard Save As dialog right away. With this version of Edge PAD's UI element capture no longer works on the Recent Downloads popup and thus prevents any file saving automation.

Other times it would throw the 'Could not find UI element' error. And it worked sometimes, but not reliably. Since previously i was able to capture the inner Recent Downloads list and the first Save As button as a UI element i was able to run the automation in Edge Version.
