Undo Vortex Chrome Fix

[inzagwa]

I know it sounds strange, but I'm trying to undo the chrome download fix.

I found after installing the fix, I actually like having to hit the popup button. Once hit the button I know I can go back to browsing mods; without hitting back too quickly or waiting around, hoping the download started.

 

My problem is, I can't find where the handlers in chrome are stored. I found guides for older builds but not chrome 81.0.

 

So, I'm hoping someone know where those settings are, or what files vortex patched so I can delete them and have them rebuilt.

When you click on the (i) icon alongside the chrome fix button it contains a description of how to manually do the fix. To undo you'd just do the inverse. I've never tried that myself though.

Unfortunately, that popup no longer describes how to do the fix manually. Now it basically says 'completely close Chrome and we'll do the fix for you'.

Apparently the popup has changed.

This is from 1.1.15

I Figured it out

With Chrome closed:
Open %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data
Find the file "Preferences" (has no file type) and open it in a text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, etc.)
Search for "nxm" (with quotes)
Your looking for the line: ...,"protocol_handler":{"excluded_schemes":{"nxm":false}},...
Delete everything between the commas, Save
