    Set qbitorrent the default magnet


    Hi!

    I used to be able to import this reg file, and fix the issue. Guess not anymore:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
    "ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
    "ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Chromium]
    "ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox"=dword:00000001

    I'm using edge chromium, and everytime i click a magnet link , the popup asks me if i want to always open with qbitorrent. Marking the checkbox, doesn't matter, it asks everytime:

    Set qbitorrent the default magnet-hswgpvkwdj.png

    Running: windows 10 20H2 and qbitorrent 4.3.4.1

    Any tips that work nowadays?

    It works for me. Try to reinstall it or run it as admin and untick/tick to open magnet links with it.
