Chrome

So I noticed this morning while playing a 4k 60 fps video on YouTube that by default chrome was using intel GPU of laptop to render the video (in task manager Intel GPU shows 30% usage while nvidia 0%) so I thought why not nvidia GPU for video playback and went to the windows graphics settings...

Wasn't sure which board to post this question. Majority of my passwords are unique for each site, so if something is breached it can't cascade to other accounts. When I log into one particular site using Chrome, I get an alert telling me my password was found in a data breach and should be...

For a long time, i'd say close to a year at least, everytime I open or reload a page on narescue.com it automatically types in "gloves" in the search bar on the site. It's very annoying, every single time I reload a page, open a new page, anything, it auto types it in. It does it regardless of...

I see all kinds of problems and fixes for my constant buffering on YT, but I thinks this is a next level problem. I play a video, goes on for 30-60 seconds and won't preload further and then buffers infinitely. I go back 5 seconds and then it will preload again and I can watch for another 20...

I've been having a really weird problem when I watch YouTube on my pc. Basically, whenever I play a video it buffers quickly like the grey bar jumps really far out and creates a sizeable gap over where I'm currently at on the video but then it just stops moving. When the red bar catches up to...

Hi. I hope I am posting in the right area of the forum. My daily driver and Zoom partner is my old video capture rig, which is a Core i7-6700 CPU on an MSI Z170A MB with 32 GB RAM. I reformated C:\ about 3 months ago (which is like pulling teeth because of all the programs I have to reinstall...

Today I had a problem with my chrome opening, I tried to run the shortcuts and the exe's but side-by-side errors popped up. I checked the chrome files (C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome) but couldn't find anything. I then went into the temp files (C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Temp) and saw...

So lately, Chrome started showing this blank line every time i click on text on every site i go to . It has gotten annoying. I tried to uninstall chrome hoping it would work. Alas, it didn't. This forum won't let me post a gyazo gif so to put it simply, it's like my webpage is a word document...

I downloaded Google Chrome after resetting my laptop, it worked normally for about a day and then randomly closed itself. When I try to open it, it opens for about a second then closes itself. Microsoft edge still worked so I downloaded Firefox. Firefox is able to open but it won't search. I...

Hi there. Ok, so used to be, I always reformatted a USB on a Mac (not quick format, I used the option that has 3 passes) before I insert it to my windows laptop/pc. I did this to lessen the chances of getting a virus from other windows computers since I occasionally needed to use the USB on...

Hello! First off, I wasn't sure where to post this thread so I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong category. Recently I've noticed Google Chrome takes about 10 seconds to open from a fresh boot (and even if I have closed down the program). I followed some guides on how to fix it by disabling...

My desktop runs an Intel i5-7600 with 16GB ram and an AMD R5 430 GPU. Previously, my monitor was plugged into the Intel motherboard using a VGA cable, connected to the Intel HD Graphics 630. Several days ago, I found a DP cable and thus switched the display connection to the AMD GPU. However...

When i try to open google chrome it closes immediately. I’ve looked it up and none of the solutions I’ve tried have worked. I tried booting windows in safe mode and chrome did open. I have tried: Scanning for malware (With malwarebytes) Reinstalling chrome (With and without revo) Checking task...
