I use Citrix to be able to log into my work PC from home. Previously, I found a way to force chrome to download the.ica files, instead of automatically opening them in chrome. IMHO, the in-browser version is totally horrible, and the actual Citrix Workspace app is fully functional, and 100 times more usable.

No.ica file, no app. I have tried multiple versions of the Receiver, from the latest to pretty old version. This issue seems to be exclusive to Windows 10 but not all systems experience the issue. My main work PC can’t launch and Citrix apps. On my work laptop if I use Chrome it will download the.ica file that I can open and launch the app.
However, I had to clean-install Windows 10 64bit a few weeks back, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get Chrome to stop auto-opening the.ica files anymore. I can find 1000 posts of people wanting it TO open them, but none of people wanting it to NOT open them.
