There's an interesting discussion on Chromium - it's old, but it might be something to try.
Thread -> Issue 153212: Downloaded files disappearing on Windows
There are lots of ideas and links in the thread, but the one above seems quick and easy to test.tsbas... said:
dev.Chromium punted at the end as it wasn't a Chrome browser issue.
One other link pointed to Internet Security zones - so you might want to take a look at those settings in Control Panel > Internet Properties
Security Tab
If you don't have any cutom settings, try hitting the
Reset all zones to default levels.
Another ting to consider - resetting your browsers. Try IE first and see if that has a positive effect on the downloads issue. If after a month (intermittent issue) without resolution try resetting Chrome. You could of course just reset both now and see if that helps.
Internet Explorer - Reset

Why IE when you use Chrome? Windows and IE are tied together very closely. Think of IE as Control Panel Internet Options.
Hmm went into regedit and there doesn't seem to be a "Current Version" folder under the "Microsoft" folder which stopped me from getting any further.
The security zones was already at default levels.
Finally I've just reset Chrome, but I don't have IE anywhere (not in control panel) as I remember disabling it via the Windows Features tab. We shall have to wait and see now to see if the problem persists.
Thanks for your help.
That's more than I expected, but I don't see anything that might be troublesome.
Thanks for posting the full list.
This is a bit disconcerting there doesn't seem to be a "Current Version" folder under the "Microsoft" .
I think you would have more issues than downloads, but maybe not.
try this: open a command prompt and type the following
reg query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ /s > rqHLKMpolicy.txt
exit
Please attach the rqHLKMpolicy.txt that should be in your user folder.
Thanks
Thanks and phewwwww - the registry entry is there.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments

The post I linked suggested changing it to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments
ScanWithAntiVirus REG_DWORD 0x1
