Chrome extension malfunction after auto-update to 22.4

@Werve - This 98% resolved my issue!
I’m going to be a bit more explicit in steps for those trying to follow:

From the workstation I followed these steps:

  1. Opened Chrome and REMOVED/Uninstalled the broken Chrome Extension.
  2. Close Chrome
  3. In Start menu, I right-clicked Studio shortcut, clicked More>Open File Location
  4. One layer deeper, I right-clicked the Studio shortcut again, selected >Open File Location
    That opened an explorer window in my case to…
    C:\Users[my name]\AppData\Local\Programs\UiPath\Studio
  5. Per Werve’s note, I went one layer deeper to
    C:\Users[my name]\AppData\Local\Programs\UiPath\Studio\UiPath
  6. I copied that path to clipboard.
  7. Opened an Administrator command prompt.
    (in Search box type Command, then right-click and choose “Run as Administrator”)
  8. type CD [space] and paste in path from #5 above and press ENTER.
  9. type SetupExtensions.exe /chromepolicyglobal

A dialog box comes up stating “The UIPath extension for Chrome was installed via policy per system.

I opened Chrome and confirmed the plugin was reinstalled AND ENABLED. there was no need to enable it separately.

At this point, I decided to test my project again,
THE DEBUG message WAS GONE!!!

NOTE TO ALL:
I did still have ONE remaining glitch:
- the project was still hanging up at a specific Click (to search in the webpage) It was using a >click< action with “simulate click” option enabled, this option was previously working most reliably of options. I changed the option for this action from Simulate Click to >> Send Window Messages.
This resolved the remaining hang-up and the rest of my project ran as it did prior to the update.
