When you download files using a web browser or other application on a Windows PC, the files are usually saved in a default download location. The default location for downloads in Windows is the Downloads folder, which is usually located in the user’s home directory. Here are the steps to find your downloaded files:
- Open File Explorer: Click on the File Explorer icon on the taskbar or press the Windows key + E to open it.
- Go to the Downloads folder: In the left sidebar, click on “This PC” to expand it, then click on “Downloads”. This will open the Downloads folder in the main window.
- Look for your downloaded files: All the files that you have downloaded will be located in this folder. You can sort the files by date or name to find the file you are looking for more easily.
If you have downloaded files from a different application or a non-default download location, the files may be saved in a different folder. In that case, you can check the settings of the application to see where the downloaded files are saved.
