Hi all. Got a new laptop. Installed all my usual software: Chrome, Norton 360, VPN, Qbittorrent, adblocker etc.

Everything works as expected except when I go to thepiratebay and click magnet links absolutely nothing happens. No error, no anything. Right click and open in a new window does nothing either. Turned off adblocker, no change. Cookies allowed.

Checked default apps in Windows and .torrent and magnet links are both defaulted to Qbittorrent.

Same links work just fine on the old laptop, but not the new one. I'm not very techie at all so now I'm totally lost what to do next to make it work as it used to. Can anyone help an old person please?
