Chrome

I get Windows Explorer crashes and freezes affecting the taskbar, which produces the hour glass when I hover over the taskbar. I know chrome is part of it if not all of it. When I delete browsing data and include cookies etc., it subsides and I have only one or two chrome instances, processes...

Computer sometimes freezes and I'm not sure why. I think it may be Chrome-related... It's the same whether graphics acceleration is off or on. So I'm pretty familiar with computers and I've tried several things that I'll list below, but basically it freezes sometimes when I walk away and its...

Windows 11 Pro updated Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite AX bios F30 Ryzen 7 7700X RTX 3080ti 32GB RAM This may have been a problem forever or recently really hard to say because if it's been there forever I just barely noticed. Any time with Chrome I go full screen with a video player like YouTube I...

Hey everyone, I've bought a prebuild pc last year and everything is working perfect. But there is one thing that's bothering me. My whole friend group is in an active Battle for middle earth 2 (lord of the rings 2004) community. The games are playable by everyone using windows 10 and 11 on the...

Under chrome://flags/, does the reset button return the experiment flags back to their default state when you first installed the browser? Chrome reset all flags button

On a fairly regular basis, I get this error when attempting to play a YouTube video without the video beginning play in a prompt manner. The videos occasionally do begin to play, but not after at least a 2 to 3 minute wait but usually not at all. And to make this even more puzzling, if they do...

I have 4X8/32GB 3600MHz DDR4 Ram , i7 11700K, on a Samsuns 990 Pro M.2 SSD. My internet speed is 400MBs download and 50MBs upload all on Windows 11. When i go to Chrome it is so slow that it takes exactly 30 seconds for letter to be typed no matter what. So it can take up to 10 minutes just to...

Hey everyone, I have a Dell Precision M6800 Laptop with 32gb of RAM, an i7-4900MQ CPU, and running Windows 10 64-bit. I am REALLY losing my mind with this. On the night of 1/7/24, I noticed with Chrome that when a webpage would stay open for a minute (or less), it would suddenly die and say...

I installed Avast Essential and I have to close and reopen Chrome for it to reach sites and then I have to refresh tabs for those sites to work. I get a warning site not secure for sites I have used before like yours, TomsHardware. I have to click proceed a few times before it will go to those...

Hi everyone, I reset Chrome and I'm trying to get it back to how it used to be. I had a background image on new tab but with Chrome theme remaining the default. I now note you cannot do that, when you change the background, the whole theme changes colour which means the browser toolbars are a...

I know, this sounds familiar, but I have tried everything to prevent Chrome from running in the background. This is weird. In Windows 11, after turning on the PC for a few seconds, the chrome.exe process starts running in the background and takes up to 60% of the CPU usage. This also causes the...

Just a PSA for everyone to not click “Got It” on Google Chrome’s new privacy features alert. Go to settings and turn them all off. EDIT: imgur does not seem to work with the forum’s image proxy (at least on my system). The links are still clickable to load the image. But you probably don’t...

I've found 3 or 4 references to this specific problem on the forum but no definitive answer. THIS POST had the exact same font showing up as I do. Happens on random pages and makes them unreadable. Firefox displays fine. Any new insight on this? Thanks! Nancy

Hi guys, I was checking reliability history and saw there was a faulting application. I copied the description of the faulting application path into Google Chrome and it downloaded the file to my downloads folder. Why did it do that? I was hoping by typing that in the URL Google would search for...

I've tried everything, every google search, every search of this forum, and don't understand why more people aren't running into this issue. The first time I clicked a mailto link in chrome in Windows 11, it offered to set up my e-mail in outlook. Obviously I don't want use Microsoft's software...

Hello, So today I went on Google chrome, and I first of all noticed that my profile on chrome was completely signed out. I was able to sign back in, however my chrome background picture had disappeared. There was nothing on the home menu apart from my bookmarks and favourites. I checked on the...

Maybe I'm just noticing it now, but Chrome (on my Win10 laptop) appears to have started recording all online form entry, and autosuggests entries when I complete a new form with similar fields. Chrome Version 108.0.5359.99 (Official Build) (64-bit) Is it possible to fully disable Chrome...

I've had this problem for a while, and it seemed to stop itself, although now it has come back in the past couple days a bit more consistently. Basically if I don't have a game, discord, or a video/stream playing, my computer runs the chance of just freezing all my screens and needing to be...

I have used Chrome for many years without an issue. All of a sudden it will not speak when I ask it a question. It will if I type the question. I am using Edge which speaks when I ask a question like Chrome used to do. At times I need two browsers. I have tried SFC, DISM, and more. Even...

The internet in my desktop, my main machine, is very unreliable. Websites time out when trying to log in, YouTube vidoes buffer constantly, etc. My internet itself seems fine. Verizion FIOS, 1gig connection. Speedtests all come back in the high 800mpbs. No problem streaming 4k content on my tv...

There is a process called the "Software Reporter Tool", part of Google Chrome. I heard that the process scans not only the Chrome browser, the Chrome history, and the Chrome extensions I use, but all files, everything on my SSD. Is this true? If I have important, copyrighted files, are they...

Hello. I use Google Chrome for browsing. When I open 3 tabs, for example, and I work only with the 3rd tab, while the other 2 tabs are kept inactive, once I stop working on the 3rd tab, and click on tab 1 and tab 2, they will restart themselves, the webpages will be restarted, and I will lose...

So, sometimes when I've got a lot of chrome pages open my browser will say it is out of memory and will stop responding. The thing is, I have 16gbs of ram and when I check the task manager it states that only half of that is being used. Also, when I'm gaming and using discord, sometimes discord...

Hello. Can someone tell me for how long does Google Chrome keeps your history? Is the history kept forever, meaning you can have access to your past browser history at any time, or does old history get erased after X time? Is there a way to make Chrome keep my browsing history for as long as i...

A friend ran a batch script and used the Assoc command to associate every .exe with Microsoft Edge... I'm struggling to revert this. How can I fix this?

This happened once after I install a game. It may be something with DirectX installation with the game.

I use several browser extensions on Chrome and recently realized that one of them is responsible for installing a malicious search engine called "SearchNet". For obvious reasons I want to get rid of the extension, but removing them one by one while reseting all my browser preferences is not a...

So-called privacy browsers are not enough. They still keep my browsing info and search strings I typed on my personal computer. You might say "Just use Chrome and, to turn off browsing history, change settings as in https://www.wikihow.com/Turn-Off-Browsing-History-on-Chrome" But that's...

So, I think this may be a Windows thing because it happens in Chrome too. Every few months I like to export my passwords and bookmarks to a portable SSD just to have backed up. Now, when I go to export my passwords into an Excel file, it asks for my Windows login credentials. I 100% know my...
