Only raw markdown text displayed for local markdown file

I installed it for Chrome on Windows 10, ensured it has access to local files, and it Just Doesn't Work™. Any .md file opened is displayed as raw text.

No idea what the issue might be, though I'm pretty sure there are plenty of Windows 10 users of this extension.

You have to go to the chrome://extensions page to get the proper option to show. I made the mistake of going to a different options screen.

Someone else reported having issues after installing certain software on their system:

Turns out it was the installation of Writage Markdown plugin for Microsoft Word which installed file type associations. FIX: Open cmd.exe and type "assoc .md=" and "ftype Writage.md=".
