Hi,

I was wonderding if anyone can help me resolve the Chrome extension issue. I have read and tried everything on and outside of’ this forum. and still get the message: "can not communicate with the browser, click for information. Click does not result in any information. Here is the status:

I have tried:
Everything in the this troubleshooting artical; Chrome Extension Troubleshooting; Plus, many times of the following: Remove the extension then reactivite from UIpath; install the extension from chrome webstore; install from studioX; Reinstuall UIPath; Chrome; Install the lower version of the Chrome (and made sure it was not automatically updated to the newest chrome version); make sure chrome user name, uipath user name, windows 10 user name all match.

Findings:
1- The UIPath is automatically installed under Users/…/AppData/Local/Uipath, instead of the Programe files.
2- My crx_manifest.json has two allowed origins (2 IDs), but in Chrome extension, it lists only the second, not the first. Removing the first one does not solve the issue.
3- UIPath can be found under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE. and there is one extension ID for UIPath. Adding the second ID that matches that in the manifest.json file does not resolve the issue.
4- UIPath can not be found under HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE/SOFTWARE. extension ID also is missing from Chrome extension list here.
5- I turned on developer mode in Chrome extension page, and checked the "background page (the link follows the ID number), and under application/Manifest, it says No Manifest deteced.

I am out of ideas after trying for two days… Would really appreciate some help…

Thank you in advance.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and the extension ID is not listed under Chrome extension in this directory.
5- In Under Chrome Extension Developer mode,
