How did you download it? Did you download it to a temporary folder that gets deleted after system refresh?

Which version of Windows are u using?
What does the Download Assistant tell you now when you open it? Can you take a screenshot.

Can you please find the C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\PRBF2-Download-Assistant\ folder.

The Appdata folder might be not visible. See here how to find it.

and provide me with the config.json file or it's content? You can open it with any text editor like notepad. It will tell me where you chose to store the download.

mmm, this might be a permission issue that it can't write to that folder. I'll investigate this further. Thanks for letting us know!

But honestly atm I don't know where it downloaded it to then.

If you do download it again with Download Assistant make sure to first go to cancel--> cancel & remove download, then redo it and make sure to choose a folder that isn't in program files. Just choose the default downloads folder to be sure.

Maybe a program like TreeSize can help you find the file. The iso should be rather big, so if it is in some random temp folder it should be visible.
