Chrome doesn't open automatically magnet links anymore

I had to do a profile reset since the "Translate to" option in context menu stopped worked; after I did the reset, any time I open a magnet link instead of it automatically beginning downloading it asks every time to open my torrent manager.

I know I have to go to Preferences file and change "protocol_handler":{} to "protocol_handler":{"excluded_schemes":{"magnet":false}}, and last time it worked, but this time it didn't work: if I open Chrome that changes to "protocol_handler":{"excluded_schemes,*":{"magnet":false}} (,* appears after schemes) and it doesn't work.

If I use the Preference file of my old account that line doesn't change and it does work, but I lose the "Translate to" option.

The handlers option in Chrome's settings is on.

Not sure what's causing this, any idea?

I'm using Chrome 77.0.3865.75 on Windows 10 1903 18362.356.
