vSphere Web Client connections using Chrome no longer open

vSphere Web Client connections using Chrome no longer open

avatar

We've long had a vSphere 5.5 RDM connections that use Chrome as the browser. At some point relatively recently (last few months), these connections no longer load. Attempting to open either opens the connection tab in RDM, but nothing loads in the content portion of the window or (more often than not) RDM locks up entirely. Changing the connection to IE works (though vSphere web pops in a new window for some reason) and Chrome connections that load other sites open without issue.

Anyone run into this before or have a suggestion on how to resolve?

Hello,

Could you go in File -> Options -> Types -> Web and check the Disable Rundll32.exe option.

Let me know if that help.

Best regards,

That did it! Thanks.

In case anyone else comes across the same issue, I did a bit of searching on that setting in hopes of finding some context on what it does and came across this RDM thread that does a pretty good job explaning the cause.
