This is a good thing if you want to make sure you have the latest security updates and bug fixes. However, it was announced at the beginning of this year that NPAPI (which uses Java) will no longer be supported after Chrome Version 45, meaning for those of you who run Java plugins are actually stuffed!<\/p>\n<p>The only way to still run the Java plugins is to roll back to an older version (pre version 45) and make sure Google Chrome updates is disabled. Initially I thought disabling Chrome updates was going to be easy but I ended up spending several hours figuring out how to do this.<\/p>\n<h2>UNINSTALL CHROME<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The first thing you need to do is uninstall the Version of Chrome from your PC.
