Very odd indeed. I upgraded to Win 10 a little over a month ago. My Download directory is completely intact. I routinely run Ccleaner, Defraggler, Speccy (as mentioned in the article)...no change what so ever. Programs are fine and the original downloads are still in the Download folder.

Still, like others have mentioned, I backup all of my files and mirror my hard drive to an external drive.
