Previously I changed the download location by automating the download settings of google chrome but with the new update, these settings features are not working anymore.
any solution on this?
Hi @Ush_Dhar
Can you try this-
Find the Chrome user profile directory on the machine where UiPath is running. The default path for the user profile directory is usually:
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
Note: Replace <username> with the actual username on your machine.
- Inside the user profile directory, locate the “Preferences” file.
- Use the “Read Text File” activity in UiPath to read the content of the “Preferences” file into a string variable.
- Manipulate the string variable to change the download location. Look for a JSON object within the file that includes the download settings, and modify the corresponding values to set the desired download directory.
- After modifying the string variable, use the “Write Text File” activity to overwrite the “Preferences” file with the updated content.
- Restart Google Chrome for the changes to take effect.
Thanks!!

I have attached a video of my problem and the code for your better understanding
I need to trigger the ask where to download button in google chrome. Yesterday before the Chrome update, it was working fine and I was using this code for the last 6 months but it’s not working with the new chrome update anymore.

@Ush_Dhar I suggest you to one solution. You can use wait for download activity instead of chrome download setting modification.
You can use "wait for download activity " and place that activity inside which you are using to download file.
Can you give me a sample for a better understanding?
That will be great for me.
Thanks
Keep the activity which download the file inside a wait for downlod activity…and wait for download has a output which will give the file which is downloaded…
Also I have checked and you can use this selector
change framework from ui explorer and it is working
<wnd app='chrome.exe' cls='Chrome_WidgetWin_1' title='Settings - Downloads - Google Chrome' /> <ctrl name='Settings - Downloads' role='document' /> <ctrl name='Ask where to save each file before downloading' role='push button' />
Even for me it is not highlighting but you can navigate from the Visual tree in the ui explorer
