PDFs keep automatically downloading in Chrome -- how do I stop?

In Windows 10, Chrome 83 now automatically downloads PDFs anytime I click a PDF link or click to download a PDF email attachment. This is also happening in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC v2018.011.20058.

Previously, the PDF would open directly in Chrome or a window would pop-up providing me an opportunity to pick the save location. I am not aware of any preferences being manually changed, and I do not believe any major updates have occurred.

How do I make PDFs no longer automatically download and instead provide me a browser window to choose my save location?

WHAT I'VE TRIED (and that has NOT worked):

• Chrome > Settings > Privacy & Security > Site Settings > Additional Content Settings > PDF Documents > UNCHECK Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome

• Chrome > Settings > Advanced > Downloads > CHECK Ask where to save each file before downloading

• Acrobat > Preferences > Internet > Web browser options > Use your browser to control viewing of PDF documents directly in the browser using Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat. The following adobe product is currently available for use by browsers: AcroRd32.exe

Solution 1:

In Chrome settings, search for downloads. Clear Open certain file types automatically after downloading.

Solution 2:

Disabling the setting "Open certain file types automatically after downloading", solved the issue for me.
