Since v.57.0 installed itself on my Win7 Home Premium 64bit laptop, I cannot download documents or anything as the icon for downloading has disappeared. I do have the icon to view downloads, but not the download icon itself.

How do I get it back?

Thanks.

Hello, click on the 3 line menu (upper right hand side), then click on Customize... >> Click on the download icon in the Customize window and uncheck the box that says auto-hide -- like in the attached screenshot.

Did this solve your problem? If it did, please mark as solution.

That only gets me the icon to show what has been downloaded (the download file).

I need the actual download icon so that when I find a document I need, I can download it. That is the one missing.

Thanks.

You normally download a file by using "Save Link As" or "Save Page As" in the right-click context menu.
