Hi,

I have problem to apply policy enable "Show downloads menu when a download starts" in Microsoft Edge(last version) for all users on domain, because that policy does not exist. I downloaded last admx edge template, but there is no option to force(enable, disable) "Show downloads menu when a download starts".

Obviously change this option is not supported over the group policy

Is it possible to enable or disable this option over registry, or enable feature over shortcut...anything?

I try switch " --enable-features=msDownloadsHub,msDownloadsHubAutoOpenPopup" on edge shortcut, but with no result.

    Since there is policy which is not available in Microsoft Edge , I advise you to file a report using Feedback option in Microsoft Edge. Make sure explain why you want this feature in the feedback report.
    Take a look at:

    Hello,

    Please check this registry settings it helps.

    To Turn On or Off Microsoft Edge Download Save Prompt using a REG file

    The downloadable .reg files below will modify the DWORD in the registry key below.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppContainer\Storage\microsoft.microsoftedge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge\Download

    EnableSavePrompt DWORD

    0 = Off
    1 = On
