Windows 10 magnet link problem with μTorrent on Google Chrome

Have you checked that Windows still saves your selections and does it exist after restart?
Sometimes may happen, that it won't store the selection.

 

As @kaljukass has suggested. Check & manually set the default apps by file type. It's in settings...

try use qBittorrent instead of uTorrent.

 

brother please try FDM or Eagleget i hope it will resolve the issue . direct download torrent / magnet links.

 

I've used malware free utorrent 2.2.1 for years.
The magnet link association problem with chrome has nothing to with windows associations, it's a chrome association that's the problem.
In any browser (I don't use edge so I don't know about it) I can associate magnet links with utorrent with any browser but chrome.
I've never found a fix so I'll be watching this thread.

utorrent is a spyware. use bittorrent or qbittorrent. all these apps got option inside to manage torrent and magnet handlers. check options.

 

Version 2.2.1 isn't.

Just tried this scenario with latest chrome and utorrent 2.2.1,
It worked just fine.

@Windows 10 User
Btw if you are facing issues, try deleting this reg key to reset magnet link preference, after that set preference using the menu in Utorrent. It should fix the issue.

Code:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Magnet

btw the issue with utorrent 2.2.1 is that when loading magnet files, you don't get to choose which files you want to download or not. You can do this only after when it starts downloading, which is quite a let down for me.
