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

For below showed download

  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:

        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.
