Vsphere webclient communicator plug-in broken in chrome 42 windows 7 SOLUTION

So, I am running an up to date windows 7 pro 64bit with google chrome 42.0.2311.90m

When chrome updated the plugin was no longer seen but worked fine in internet explorer. I don't like IE

I googled around a bit and it took me a while to figure out the solution.


Google is completely depreciating NPAPI plugins.

you have to go in and manually re-enable.


So from your google browser go to    chrome://flags/#enable-npap  in the address bar

scroll down until you see    Enable NPAPI Mac, Windows

click enable.

chrome will ask you to relaunch.

and you are good to go.

We had this problem starting Friday and discovered the solution from this post today. We are on vCenter Server 5.5. Thank you!
