Google Chrome developer tools disabled


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.


Solution

  • Delete the DeveloperToolsDisabled registry key in Software\Policies\Chromium\DeveloperToolsDisabled
