Chromium browsers automatically disable browser extensions if the browser detects that the extension's files have been tampered with or are otherwise corrupted (i.e., they fail a signature/integrity check).

You can check the extension's status by opening Extensions > Manage Extensions, or directly navigating to your browser's extensions page:

  • Chrome: chrome://extensions

  • Edge: edge://extensions

If you manually installed the browser extension from the Chrome Web Store, you can click "Repair" to try to repair the extension installation.

If the browser extension is force installed (managed by your organization), the browser will automatically attempt to re-download/repair the extension. Or, try closing and reopening the browser profile.

Incorrect Citrix/Roaming Profile Settings

If your Citrix or Windows Roaming Profile Settings include the extension directory, during profile transfer, the browser extension's files may be in an inconsistent state.

See Citrix Profile Configuration for more information.

Antivirus and Security Settings

Antivirus and security software might mis-categorize the extension's files and quarantine and/or otherwise modify the file. Add the browser extension's directory to your Antivirus's ignore-list/allowlist.

%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data

Chromium Bugs

Chromium has some known/open bugs () causing the browser to incorrectly flag extensions as corrupted.

If you have checked your VDI/Windows profile and Antivirus settings and continue to experience extension corruption errors, contact .
