How to turn on "save as..." prompt on Microsoft Edge browser

I really miss the "save as" prompt in Microsoft edge browser. By default it just start to download file without asking where i want to save it. By default it save file to user's profile "download" directory, but what to do if you have no space on that drive and need to download large file? Fortunately there are solution.

  • Open command prompt or press "win"+r keys. 
  • Type in "regedit" and press "enter".
  • Navigate to key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppContainer\Storage\microsoft.microsoftedge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge\
  • If there no "Download" key create it.
  • Navigate to Download key and create DWORD value "EnableSavePrompt"
  • Assign value "1" if you want "Save As..." prompt or "0" to turn off.
