Chrome: Microsoft Silverlight doesn’t work even after installing plugin

by Leave a Comment

You know the plugin is installed correctly, and there are no pop-ups being blocked, but for some reason you’re still being told to install MS Silverlight when you try to run an app.

That’s because Chrome is now disabling NPAPI by default. Here’s how to fix that:

  1. In Chrome, go to this link: chrome://flags/#enable-npapi
  2. Enable that option
  3. Follow the prompt to relaunch Chrome

That should do it. Let me know if this is the same for you.

Cheers!
