*SOLVED* New Windows 10 install - how to have Sab auto open nzbs from Chrome?

Feels like a stupid question, but after upgrading my system to Win 10 from 7, when I grab an nzb from a site, it downloads to the bottom of Chrome but it used to auto load into Sab and begin downloading right after. Now I have to manually click it to load into Sab.
Not sure if I'm missing a setting in Chrome, or in Sab?
Running 2.3.8 [0dd1f64] in Windows 10.
Thanks!

AFAIK: re-install SABnzbd, and at the end, one of the four questions is "associatie nzb with sabnzbd" (AFAIK)

I rechecked and this was done, the nzbs show the sab icon and the file association is set.
It's been a couple years since I had to do anything with the config (yes I should have backed it up)
Would it be setting the downloads folder as a 'watched folder'?

I’m missing auto open of zip files in chrome, since the last update. Used to be able to download the Zip and then open the zip in explorer so I could double click to open in sab. Now have to click on the download in chrome to open then open in sab. Not sure if this is a problem because of the new extractor software or not .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a chrome thing, you can click on the little arrow on the right and then select "Always open files of this type directly". Something like that

Ok, this is what I used to have selected, when it wasn’t working I cleared the auto open settings in chrome and now it’s greyed out and I can’t select it again.

This link shows what was referenced and it worked for me.
With the nzb downloaded and sitting at the bottom as a downloaded file, I did the step shown in the link and it worked for me:

If it's greyed out still, you might be able to reset the auto open settings - steps listed here:
