Chrome slow to start?

[MichaelTS]

Since switching to a new computer and copy/posting my chrome settings from my old one, Chrome has been slow to start up. The shortcuts on my homepage and the icons for my bookmarks take a long time to load after starting the browser. Firefox is working just fine, however.

I'm not sure how did you "pasted" your profile. You might coppied some useless crap that browser tries to "process"
IMHO best option is SYNC:

should copy just minimal changeset and keep all pointless data out. Also easier and faster than pendrive sync.

The pc is faster, and there's no ssd.

go to chrome setting, go to advanced at the bottom. click on open proxy settings. go to connections tab, click on lan settings, uncheck "automatically detect settings". let me know if this fixed it.

None of the suggestions above worked. Incognito mode and disabling extensions made no difference. Cleared cookies, cache, browsing history, and used reset settings. Hardware acceleration is disabled and I have no viruses. Any other solutions?

yup get yourself a ssd.

An SSD isn't the solution. My older computer was slower in every way, yet chrome started much faster on it.

an ssd would make a huge difference...

Delete and reinstall chrome. Login to Chrome with your Google account, all your settings will be restored from Google. Its very likely the files you copied in for your settings and bookmarks are causing the slowdown. Start there and we can move forward.
