Can not find the downloaded files

I don't know exactly when it started, but suddenly I can't find all the downloaded files.  I get prompted to run or save the file, and then on the progress bar window and the file download, but any place I pick up (or even if I chose to simply run the program), the dialog boxes disappear when the download is complete.  The files are not where I told them to be stored and they are not anywhere else on the computer.  When I choose to run a program, I get a dialog box for that either.  This problem occurs no matter what browser I use.  I did some digging and I came across several others with the same problem and there seems to be a problem with Windows Update.  Suggestions are to uninstall the latest updates to fix the problem, but I think it started several weeks ago and I don't want uninsatll everything.  Any help is appreciated.

Hello

To make another account with your same password - ADMIN upgrade - REBOOT (do not only closing session) and
connect that account - you can download to use it? (do both ADMIN - one accounts in case that you
migrate to it and another to test and difficulty).

It while in the new use of the account to LOWER your account regularly APPLY / OK to need - and then lift back
for the ADMIN - repeat several times - descent - go downstairs - raise - repeat. This allows to clear corruption.
Make sure that the account administrator.

Try your downloads into the new account. The downloads work in the new account?

If necessary later this is the process to fix a damaged account or migrate to a new.

Then reset IE

What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had
on this machine, including those that you have uninstalled (they leave remnants behind which emits causes).

Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore advanced settings, and then click RESET - APPLY / OK

IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on Reset all areas - APPLY / OK

Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
"(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
are bad, but some can cause your question. (Toolbars are BHO)

Startup programs

Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware update and then run it as
a scanner.

I hope this helps.
