Problem with automatic downloads in chrome incognito. since the latest version of chrome it is not possible to automatically download files 119. Does anyone know how to solve this problem so that the files are automatically downloaded?
Anyone figured out how to solve this problem?
I found a link about a bug in incognito mode on chrome webdriver, even if we try to download something in the browser manually in incognito mode the download prompt will appear.

### What happened?
Code used to launch the chrome incognito:
var choptions … = new ChromeOptions();
choptions.PageLoadStrategy = PageLoadStrategy.Normal;
if (RunInHeadlessMode())
{
choptions.AddArguments("--headless");
choptions.AddArguments("--disable-gpu");
choptions.AddArguments("--window-size=1920,1080");
}
choptions.AddArgument("--start-maximized");
choptions.AddArguments("incognito");
choptions.AddArguments("--no-sandbox");
choptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", Selenium.UserActions.FileInteractions.DownloadFolderPath);
choptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.prompt_for_download", false);
choptions.AddUserProfilePreference("profile.default_content_settings.popups", 0);
choptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.prompt_for_download", false);
choptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.directory_upgrade", true);
var experiments = new List<string>();
experiments.Add("download-bubble@2");
experiments.Add("download-bubble-v2@2");
choptions.AddLocalStatePreference("browser", new { enabled_labs_experiments = experiments});
ChromeOptions = choptions;
Capable = choptions;
