Hi @Vaibhav_Shukla,

How have you installed it? as all users/current user or at group policy level?

Also, when you see extension in chrome, does it show “error” in red on top of it?

Hello @sonaliaggarwal47

I have installed through group policy.
And also I have tried installing through cmd command /chrome-policy-global.

Hi @Vaibhav_Shukla,

Are you able to do that via current user or all users?

Is it a VM you need to install this on or a personal machine?

For personal machine, current user should do the needful.

@Vaibhav_Shukla,

Thanks for sharing.

Can you uninstall then and re-install it using “All users” option?

@Vaibhav_Shukla,

Can you also check if third party extension settings are disabled in the VM?

Windows, internet options->advanced->Disable third party extensions

If it is your office laptop - there could be some corporate policy applying on top of your group policy which is removing the extension whenever this policy is applied

Talk to your IT team and confirm if anything similar is applied or not. If yes - Send the id of the UiPath chrome extension and request them to add the same in the whitelisted extension list

Hello @Vaibhav_Shukla ,

@sharazkm32 is right, the most likely cause of the issue is a Group Policy update.

This is a major BUG with this extension for chrome, I did all I could still facing this issue

  1. I verified that there are no registry keys or GPO restrictions blocking or disabling the UiPath Chrome extension.
  2. I checked the Chrome version vs. UiPath extension compatibility to confirm if a recent Chrome auto-update might have caused a mismatch with the UiPath Robot/Studio version.
  3. I explored reinstalling the extension either through the UiPathStudio.msi (Modify → Chrome Extension) or by running SetupExtensions.exe /chrome.
  4. I reviewed the Native Messaging Host configuration and made sure that UiPathChromeNativeHost.json exists and that the registry key com.uipath.chromenativemsg is pointing correctly.
  5. I checked chrome://policy and relevant registry paths to ensure no hidden policy restrictions were interfering.
  6. I considered that endpoint security tools, Chrome cleanup, or user profile resets could also cause the extension to auto-disable.
