Answer 1

As I tested this functionality with Selenium 3.4.0, ChromeDriver 2.30 & Chrome 59.0, I have tried with your own code to download a excel file from the url https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=45485 along with some simple tweaks. The code block works fine at my end.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
String downloadFilepath = "C:\\Utility\\OP_Resources\\ChromeDownload";
HashMap<String, Object> chromePrefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
chromePrefs.put("profile.default_content_settings.popups", 0);
chromePrefs.put("download.prompt_for_download", "false");
chromePrefs.put("download.default_directory", downloadFilepath);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePrefs);
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
cap.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(cap);
driver.get("https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=45485");
JavascriptExecutor jse = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
jse.executeScript("window.scrollBy(0,200)", "");
driver.findElement(By.linkText("Download")).click();
