Video Downloads Are Not Appearing In Designated Downloads Folder On Windows 11 Desktop PC

1

Brave is up to date
Version 1.70.123 Chromium: 129.0.6668.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I downloaded 4 videos from two different sites last night, using fetchV extension. The downloads Were 100% completed.
FetchV shows the download folder as C:\Users\me\Downloads - Brave settings also tells me that my downloads go to C:\Users\me\Downloads. The downloads were not there last night, nor were they showing under downloads tab section.

This morning, I downloaded a ‘snipping tool’ utility…and it actually did appear in download history and in the folder. I thought this issue was fixed - so I tried to download a video once again - and Nada!

Even if this gets resolved, I need to know where these videos now reside. Did windows 11 do something with them, did they self-delete or what? I’m unfamiliar with windows 11; is there a setting in there I may have turned off or need to enable.

I just switched from a windows 10 PC to a brand new windows 11 PC and I’d like to do the same activities I did on the old PC - on this new one, yeah? Please help.
Thank you

SOLVED:

When starting up on a new computer, with an different OS, and after reinstalling Brave onto the new PC and after adding download extensions like FetchV to Brave - remember that you have to manually Turn On the Auto-Save feature - which will then, naturally, put your downloads into their designated folder!
Sorry about the fuss
