Answer 1

You may try this as it is worked for me on IE9:

1. Copy file C:\Windows\System32\UIAutomationCore.dll file to users Documents i.e C:\Users\admin\Documents then add reference UIAutomationClient to your macro file.

2. Paste below code in your module:

       Option Explicit
       Dim ie As InternetExplorer
       Dim h As LongPtr
       Private Declare PtrSafe Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowExA" (ByVal hWnd1 As LongPtr, ByVal hWnd2 As LongPtr, ByVal lpsz1 As String, ByVal lpsz2 As String) As LongPtr
   
   Sub Download()
       Dim o As IUIAutomation
       Dim e As IUIAutomationElement
       Set o = New CUIAutomation
       h = ie.Hwnd
       h = FindWindowEx(h, 0, "Frame Notification Bar", vbNullString)
       If h = 0 Then Exit Sub
   
       Set e = o.ElementFromHandle(ByVal h)
       Dim iCnd As IUIAutomationCondition
       Set iCnd = o.CreatePropertyCondition(UIA_NamePropertyId, "Save")
   
       Dim Button As IUIAutomationElement
       Set Button = e.FindFirst(TreeScope_Subtree, iCnd)
       Dim InvokePattern As IUIAutomationInvokePattern
       Set InvokePattern = Button.GetCurrentPattern(UIA_InvokePatternId)
       InvokePattern.Invoke
   End Sub   
   

Try at your end.
