Google Chrome can sometimes stop working like any common software without warning you. If you are facing the same problem that Chrome is not working or crashing without any warning, then do not worry because you are not the only user who is facing this problem. There are solutions that will help you with this issue. Start by checking the extensions of your system, user profile, and antivirus settings, because reinstalling Chrome or updating Windows may also solve the problem.
1.
Corrupted User Profile
A corrupted User Profile is one of
the common reasons why Chrome stops working is a corrupted user profile. If
Chrome still does not open or support at all, or crashes immediately, then try
creating a new user profile to see if the issue persists.
2.
Outdated or Corrupt Extensions
Try turning off all extensions and
restarting Chrome to see if that resolves the issue because extensions improve
the functionality of your browser, but some badly impacted or out-of-date
extensions might cause Chrome to malfunction. So try to re-enable each one
individually to find the offender.
3.
Antivirus or Firewall
Interference
Sometimes the Firewall blocks some
sites for security purposes, so go to settings and temporarily disable your
antivirus or firewall and check if Chrome works. If it does, add Chrome to the
allowed apps list.
4.
Damaged Chrome Installation
If Chrome installation files are
corrupted or damaged for any reason, then the browser will also not work
properly, so the user must Uninstall Chrome completely from the C drive, and
then reinstall the latest version from the official website.
5.
Conflicting Software
Some programs in your system like
malware or outdated software, may interfere with Chrome. So User should open
the built-in tool chrome://conflicts (on Windows) to detect problematic software
and remove it.
6.
System Issues
It can happen for some time that
Windows updates or missing system files can cause problems with Chrome. Running
the System File Checker (sfc /scannow) can help repair these files.
