[Python] Chrome Selenium file downloaded but I can't find it or click the file in download...

It is downloaded, I can see the file in the panel, but I can't open folder or click on link.

test outputs: 20241122162434|ERROR|downloadpath:C:\dist\work\remote-eseal-fullstack-test

So I know it is executing the cdp command. But nothing in downloadpath, or anywhere else.

Same Chrome the usual way work all fine, but not via selenium. Not manual in this window either.

All active chrome settings below extracted:

elif os.environ['WEBDRIVER'].lower()=='chrome':
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_argument('--log-level=3')
options.add_argument('--default-shm-size=32m')
options.add_argument('--disable-translate')
options.add_argument('--disable-extensions')
options.add_argument("--disable-search-engine-choice-screen") #from v127
ptions.add_argument("--proxy-server='direct://'")
options.add_argument("--proxy-bypass-list=*")
options.set_capability('acceptInsecureCerts', True)
s = ChromeService(log_output="./chromedriver.log", service_args=['--append-log', '--readable-timestamp', '--log-level=DEBUG'])
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s, options=options)
if downloadpath:
params = {'behavior': 'allow', 'downloadPath': downloadpath}
driver.execute_cdp_cmd('Page.setDownloadBehavior', params)
log.error(f"downloadpath:{downloadpath}")


Chromedriver: 131.0.6778.69, Chrome: 131.0.6778.86, Selenium: 4.26.1, win11

In chromedriver.log I see this:
