Load Unpacked Chrome Extension not working

Question

I'm getting started on my first extension using the Chrome tutorial and got tripped up almost immediately. Says to click Load Unpacked and then select the file path to the manifest file. However, when I click Load Unpacked nothing shows up; no file explorer or even an error message. There's no change to the screen. Any understanding on why this might be happening?

Answer 1

Regedit: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallBlocklist Then remove * from 1 Restart chrome. Bingo, can add Extensions...
