Google did again. If your suffering from downloads going to the top again there is a fix. Little harder this time around but here you go

Make sure all Chrome windows are closed and any chrome saved on your taskbar need to be removed.

Right click the Chrome shortcut on your desktop and click properties

Add --disable-features=DownloadBubble to the Target field

Should look like this "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-features=DownloadBubble

Click OK to save and open Chrome. The old download shelf is now back.
