Why am I unable to find downloaded files?

[Android Central Question]

Recently I've had this problem with my Huawei P30 Pro. After downloading any file I am not able to open it or find it anywhere. Even after getting notification that my download has been completed it tries to open it with file manager and doesn't give me option to open it with pdf readers, word etc. I've tried using diffrent file managers, as well as finding those files in my phone memory through PC. It seems like those files were never there.

Try resetting app preference in settings >apps>3 dots upper right corner tap scroll app preference, every phone different bit should be around there.

Welcome to Android Central! Which app are you using to download files? A browser? The Google search app? Something else?
