- **fixed** — registerFileProtocol and registerHttpProtocol now return opaque responses to cross-origin no-cors fetches instead of readable responses, consistent with protocol.handle
- **fixed** — Fixed an issue on Windows where the app process could fail to exit after app.quit() while a shell.openExternal() or shell.openPath() call was still waiting on a system Open with dialog
- **fixed** — Windows opened by a sandboxed top-level frame now inherit the opener's sandbox restrictions
- **fixed** — <webview> and window.open now inherit nodeIntegrationInWorker from the embedder, consistent with other Node and sandbox preferences

#### Release Notes for v41.10.6

##### Fixes

* Fixed `registerFileProtocol` and `registerHttpProtocol` returning readable responses to cross-origin `no-cors` fetches; they now return opaque responses like `protocol.handle`.

* Fixed an issue on Windows where the app process could fail to exit after `app.quit()` while a `shell.openExternal()` or `shell.openPath()` call was still waiting on a system "Open with" dialog.
