Google Chrome developer tools disabled - google-chrome-devtools

My Google Chrome developer tools are disabled. I'm not sure how it happened. I was using them in the morning then went to use them in the afternoon and the F12 button wouldn't do anything. Same with ctrl+shift+i.
If I navigate the 'Tools' menu, I can see the 'developer tools' link, but it is grayed out and disabled. Does anyone have any idea how to re-enable them? I uninstalled/re-installed chrome twice but no help.

Delete the DeveloperToolsDisabled registry key in Software\Policies\Chromium\DeveloperToolsDisabled
https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#DeveloperToolsAvailability

I found it named slightly differently (Win7):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\DeveloperToolsDisabled
I set it to zero and restarted Chrome --> all is well. No idea how it got set.
Update 5/30/2014: This value was set again, there must be some security policy against this flag where I work. I deleted the key completely and will report back if it appears again.
Update 6/13/2014: Definitely we've got a security policy that is setting this key daily. As a workaround I've created a file, "fix_developer_options.reg" with the following contents and put it on my Desktop:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]
"DeveloperToolsDisabled"=dword:00000000
This file, when double-clicked, will automatically make this setting in the registry. After that, you need to restart Chrome to get the change. (One step better would be to have this executed when you log in.)
Update 3/4/2018:
In Windows 10 this setting has moved under HKEY_CURRENT_USER as #DGinzberg mentions below in the comments. I found it here on a new computer:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome]

check policies - type chrome://policy/ in url bar. if DeveloperToolsDisabled is set to true, update the registry entry

I just came across a similar issue on my university's website where I could not open the dev tools. Dev tools were opening on other websites in adjacent tabs but not on this site.
Solution:
What worked for me was that I clicked on the address bar of the browser and pressed F12. And it worked. It did not work afterward when I un-selected the address bar and tried again. But worked again when I did it by selecting the address bar.
Hope it would help someone.

Found another issue with the Dev Tools not opening/ working
If the Block access to a list of URLs Enabled
and "file", "" is in it
or
file:// is not in the whitlist of url, the DEV Tools wont open either :)
Maybe that helps someone

Open regedit (Registry Editor) and find the DeveloperToolsAvailability key by first going to this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\
... then click Chrome and select DeveloperToolsAvailability from the list on the right. Double click it and change it from 2 to either 1 or 0. Click OK and close regedit, then close Chrome and re-open it. Chrome dev tools should now be enabled.
However, depending on your system, you may instead have the DeveloperToolsDisabled key in that same path. If so, delete that.

If you are using a Google Workspace account and have Google Admin Console permissions, you can follow the below steps to enable the Developer mode of Chrome browser for the entire organization or just an OU.
Log into the Google Admin console (admin.google.com).
Navigate to Device>Chrome>Settings (https://admin.google.com/ac/chrome/settings/user).
On the left, select the proper organization unit which contains the user/s you want to change the configuration for.
Update the "Developer Tool" settings with “Always allow use of built-in developer tools”.
SAVE changes.

stuck on Unity 3D Package Manager Error when trying to open any Unity project

I have been facing this error for 5 months.
I have tried everything to fix it. Nothing's working. I have driven myself to near insanity trying to fix this problem.
Everything i try to boot up a Unity Project, this error shows up:
i hate this image so much
PLEASE. IF YOU HAVE A SOLUTION, TELL ME.
have you tried the following?
Firewall White-listing of the editor program:
Go to windows firewall -> Advanced Settings -> Inbound rules - > Create new Rule-> type: program -> Complete path to the unity editor -> Allow Connections -> Give it a name -> Save.
Setting Environmental variables:
HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and UNITY_NOPROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1
​
Even if you already have a rule for Unity explicitly recreate it!
I hope this helps.
No clues don't worry there is solution...
First, go to Settings> Update & Security> Windows Security> Windows & Network protection>Windows Defender firewall> you have to turn off the firewall protection.
It will successfully helps out. Trust me it really do!
Go to Settings --> Update and Security -->Select Windows Security Tab
-->Click 'Firewall and Network Protection' -->Select 'Advanced Settings'
-->Inbound Rules -->You will a rule Where Unity Editor will be set to block Right click on it and select properties
-->In dialogue box shown choose 'Allow the connection' and
then restart Unity Hub and create new project additional Templates will now be available.
Does this problem also occur with a different project?
I could not open any project because of this "package manager error" and solved the issue by just closing all other running programs on my PC.

VSCODE - Marketplace returned 'ECONNREFUSED'. Please check the 'http.proxy' setting

I am new to Visual Studio. I just installed Visual Studio Code (VSCODE). First time, I opened it and trying to install the extension for powershell. But, when I go to the Extensions tab, it gave an error that the proxy settings were not configured.
The pop up gave an option to 'Open User Settings' and it opened an editor.
As per my understanding, I wrote the following two lines in the User Settings file.
Our internal proxy server requires user authentication. How and where will I put the user credentials. I think, I am getting the error because I have not specified the user details.
Found out how.
The proxy details should be given in the following format. I was using the wrong format earlier.
My settings file looked something similar to below.
// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{
"http.proxy": "http://user#domain.local:Password456#10.201.10.200:8080",
"http.proxyStrictSSL": false
}
The domain user name was domain\user, and it was provided in the user FQDN format
Password456 is the login password for the user
10.201.10.200:8080 is the proxy server
Hope this would help someone at some point of time.
I solved this problem like #Tom Jacob Chirayil, but I had to do a little extra. Here are the steps I followed:
Find your proxy server first by going to http://wpad/wpad.dat. My company's configuration had a bunch of proxy servers, and the one that I used was at the very bottom, in this format:
return "PROXY subdomain.company.com:port";
Then click on the Open User Settings button, and add the following line to the settings.json file to the right, within the braces:
"http.proxy": "http://subdomain.company.com:port"
NB: I had to add http:// to the front of the proxy address that I pulled from wpad.dat.
Then save settings.json, restart VS Code. (IDK for sure if you have to restart VS Code or not.)
Just to add a point, it seems that the new release (1.5.1) came with this issue. People on Mac, Linux or Windows suffering with "econnrefused" error in VSCode.
The new version (1.5.2) will have a fix for this, until then, we can use the nightly version.

How to diagnose metro app deployment errors?

When trying to debug a Metro project from VS, I came across this error:
DEP0700 : Registration of the app failed. Another user has already installed a packaged version of this app. An unpackaged version cannot replace this. The conflicting package is PACKAGENAME and it was published by CN=some Guid. (0x80073cf9)
But I have already uninstalled the app from the Start page, also, I can confirm that there is no entry left in Add/Remove program.
And since the access to the "%PROGRAMFILES%\WindowsApps" folder where the app files reside in is blocked, so I have no way to see if the app is still there.
However, I can still find many 'PACKAGENAME' occurances in the registry.
How to diagnose this? How to get rid of the "packaged version" so I can start debugging from VS?
Try installing the app from the windows store again, and then uninstall it from the start page. It appears that when Visual Studio does the uninstall it doesn't do it right.
1) Go to your Package.appxmanifest file in your solution
2) Go to the identity tag.
<Identity Name="xxxxxxx-yyyy-zzzz-tttt-bbbbbbbbbbbbb"
Publisher="CN=bigbob"
Version="1.0.0.0" />
3) Change the value of the Identity Name (Ex from ...bbbbb to ...bbbbc)
4) Rebuild and run
Source:

Are you sure you didn't just unpin the app? Try doing a search for it and see if it is still there.
I find a solution to the problem. It's said it is a "staged package" that does not show up in my start page so I can not uninstall it in normal way. I follow the steps, and successfully get rid of that "un-uninstallable" :) package.
This blog post was helpful, although after an hour or so of troubleshooting it turns out that I had indeed installed the package under another user account. After switching accounts and uninstalling from the start screen it worked fine.

TeamCity Windows Tray Notifier stuck on "logged in"

When I run the Windows Tray Notifier on my Windows 8 virtual machine, it remains stuck on a "logged in" message if I hover over the icon of the program in the system tray, and I can't do anything else other than force the shutdown with the Task Manager. I set the correct address where my TeamCity test server is running but it seems unable to connect to. Any help is appreciated.
Fixed it via the following steps:
Repaired via installer (this clears saved login data)
Logged into a different server running Teamcity 6.5.3 - this worked
logged out again and logged into our main teamcity server (running 7.1) - tray notifier is working again
Very strange! Above workaround would only work if you had access to a second server too.
EDIT: Two further workarounds have been posted on the thread I started on the Jetbrains forum, so I'll repost them here for the benefit of others.
Solution 1:
Kill running tray notifier in task manager
Open regedit, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JetBrains\TeamCity\WindowsTray\Login, update the “S” property to http://192.168.1.1:8080 (substitute real ip address, without the quotes, trailing / seems to be important)
Open IE, go to team city site
Log in, checking “remember me”
While IE is open and connected to TeamCity, start up tray notifier.
Takes about 15 sec to change from “logging in” to connected.
Solution 2:
Open IE, select Internet Options, Security Tab, add the TeamCity server address to the trusted list.
Please note, I haven't personally tested either of these methods, just posting them here for information since others have found them to work. Hope this helps!
Since upgrading the server to 7.1.1 this issue hasn't reoccurred for me. Looks like it's been fixed as per Eugene's comment elsewhere on this thread.
This issue is definitely a bug in the tray notifier.
It isn't popping up login credentials, so
Log first into IE
Check remember me - try to save credentials
Close IE/Launch the notifier
It should be successful
Henry Wilson posted the answer in their forums. Hopefully it's fixed soon.
I had a similar problem, the only difference is that it was stuck in "Loading..." and not in "Logging in...".
I added a trailing slash to the URL in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JetBrains\TeamCity\WindowsTray\Login" but it didn't help, so I deleted the whole tree "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JetBrains\TeamCity". After a restart of the application, it asked again for the URL.
I use 8.0.5 on the server. The tray notification reports "build NA" in the about window...
I have had this on:
Windows 7 - 64 bit,
TeamCity Pro 7.1 (build 23907)
All other effects are identical as above.
The suggestions above didn't work for me, but it did allow me to re-enter the server address.. still the problem persisted.
What worked for me was to remove then re-install in "Program Files" instead of the default "Program Files (x86)". There are a few reasons why this as-a-fix should be unnecessary, but it worked and I'm happy.
This worked for me:
Open the CI-Server URL in Internet Explorer
Log out from the CI-Server
Restart the Tray Notifier (maybe kill via Taskamanger)
Log in again
p.s. not sure if it is relevant, but for completeness:
I also added the CI-Server URL in the trusted sites in Internet Explorer → Internet Options (as mentioned in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12001721/1520422)

Eclipse Indigo "unable to connect to repository"

I'm trying to add this repository to Eclipse (Indigo):-
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
Seems okay when checked in a browser, but I keep getting "unable to connect" in Eclipse, and when I check the URL Eclipse is apparently looking for:-
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/content.xml
in a browser, I get a "404 not found". The locations for previous releases (e.g. galileo) don't seem to be there either. Have they moved? Am I misunderstanding something?
I tried some of the suggestions in this previous thread:-
Eclipse updates not working
But they don't seem to work (and I'm not using a proxy anyway).
Hemdoar
This worked for me:
Open terminal. Navigate to Eclipse folder.
sudo nano eclipse.ini
at the bottom, add this line in:
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack = true
Then ctrl+O to save, ctrl+X to close (it says at bottom). IPv4/IPv6 problems? Solved.
Then delete the cache VonC said to:
<eclipse>/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository/cache
(This can be done using "sudo rmdir /p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository/cache" or by typing "sudo nautilus" into terminal, to open a root-priveleged filesystem browser, than navigating to, selecting the folder, and pressing the delete key). Then restart eclipse, goto Help>install new software>available software sites
Make sure the repos you want (such as "http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates/") has a "/" right at the end. If it doesn't, delete that entry, and create a new, identical one which does, because Eclipse won't just let you edit it and click ok. Then click ok, and from the combo box choose e.g. the egit link, and lo, it will find it.
Still not working? Window>show view>internal web browser; check it can access internet. Hope that helps!

VonC Sep 14 '11 at 6:03
I used VonC's answer to good effect. I also uninstalled a program called webroot. I think this had something to do with it because other programs were also having network problems.
This is because windows IPV6 issue. Try adding the following VM option in the eclipse.ini
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
Can you connect to internet at all through Eclipse?
Open the internal webbrowser. In Eclipse: Window -> show view -> Other -> General: Internal web browser.
Look up any normal adress, is it working?
Can you connect to another update site? Try for example Eclipse Emma: http://update.eclemma.org/ Do you see anything there?
What are your proxy preferences? Go to Window -> preferences -> General: Network connections.
The active provider:
Specifies the settings profile to be used when opening connections. Choosing the Direct provider causes all the connections to be opened without the use of a proxy server. Selecting Manual causes settings defined in Eclipse to be used. On some platforms there is also a Native provider available, selecting this one causes settings that were discovered in the OS to be used.
If internet is working fine outside of Eclipse, try changing to Native. After that, try Direct.
I have encountered problems where an update site would not load, then I had to remove it and add it again. This forces Eclipse to reread the contents of the site even if it has a cached copy. So, if you still get no connection to the indigo update site, but everything else is working, try that. Go to Window -> Preferences -> Install/update: Available Software sites. Then remove and add the indigo site. Just remember to copy the adress so you can add it again.
As suggested in a comment below by #lostiniceland, this is a simpler way to achieve the above:
Goto Preferences -> Install Update -> Available Software Sites => select the entry and click the "Reload" button to the right. This is sometimes also helpful when you have a local updatesite for testing custom plugins
first resolve proxy conflicts and if then too eclipse is not getting connected to internet *turnoff your firewall/antiviru*s and try again
To resolve proxy conflicts:Go to windows->prefernces-general tab->network settings
if you dont use proxy settings, cgange native to direct
if you use proxy, chenge native to manual and fill details of proxy for http and https by pressing 'edit' and clear SOCKS tab by pressing 'clear'
check if your SOCK is disabled on operating system too. or doing it open to 'Internet options' dailog box. Go to connections and press lan connection. press 'advanced' button ans clear the textboxes in front of 'socks' and uncheck the msg saying 'use same address for other network protocols'
I did this and worked for me
If you are using Fiddler2 (or any other web sniffer/debugger tool), it may be your problem, as it acts as a local proxy.
Sometimes, even if its not running, I find myself obligated to start it and disable traffic capture.
Hope that helps!
