The issue you're experiencing, where manual downloads are defaulting to the downloads folder instead of using the last used folder, is likely related to a change in the update that affects how file download locations are determined. This can happen when updates modify system settings or introduce new configuration options.
⚠️ Common Causes
- The update may have altered the default download location settings in your system or application configuration.
- There might be a conflict between the new update and an existing file association or shortcut that's causing the issue.
- It's possible that the update introduced a bug or unintended behavior that affects how downloads are handled.
