Upgraded to 8, no longer have option to keep browser extension unlocked
Hi there folks!
I need help. I opt to keep my browser extension unlocked but after upgrading to 8, I'm unable to. When I look in the browser app, it tells me to go to the security tab of the windows app. When I try to click the security tab of the app, it doesn't show any security options. To clarify,
If I click the General tab, general options are shown on the right.
If I click the Appearance tab, appearance options are shown on the right.
If I click the Security tab, appearance options remain on the right.
Basically, when I click the security tab, whatever was chosen before is what content remains shown on the right.
Can someone help me get the option for "remain unlock" selected?
Thanks for your time!

Hello there Jack_P_1P and thanks for the help!
"I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Windows PC:"
Unfortunately, I'm unable to do this as the advanced tab is another tab that does not show any info in the right pane. Is there another way to perform the diagnostic or is there something else I can do? Would uninstalling the application and just using the browser extension get my ability to use preferences back?
