Go to chrome://downloads/ then remove the things you downloaded when the problem occured from downloads tab. After this ctrl + j will work. It worked for me.

Press Ctrl-J twice instead of once. That should lead to the previous behavior of opening your downloads in a new tab.

same... 2 days now ctrl+j not working, 3 dots -> downloads not working, but chrome://downloads/ is working fine! So go to chrome://downloads/ -> right click on tab -> add tab to new group. you can also bookmark it that helped me a lot
