Just pasting the answer that OP found, but did not add as an answer.

var chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", @"D:\DataTest");
chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("intl.accept_languages", "nl");
chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("disable-popup-blocking", "true");
var driver = new ChromeDriver(@"D:\chromedriver_win32\", chromeOptions);
var download = driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//a[.='ダウンロード']"));

foreach (var t in download)
{
    t.SendKeys(Keys.Enter);
}

These settings worked for me

var chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
var downloadDirectory = "C:\Temp";

chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", downloadDirectory);
chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.prompt_for_download", false);
chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("disable-popup-blocking", "true");

var driver =  new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);

I know it's not best, may be even not good way to to it, but maybe will help if you didn't find other answers helpful. It works for me:

private static ChromeOptions options()
{
    ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
    chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", @"path");
    chromeOptions.AddUserProfilePreference("download.prompt_for_download", false);

    return chromeOptions;
    }
     
protected static IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options());
