    Chrome closing 2-3 seconds after opening


    Whenever I try to open chrome, I instantly closes. I tried to trouble shoot it but all methods I found involved opening chrome which I obviously cannot do. Everything within chrome works fine like navigating and the browser doesn't seem to look any different from the surface, but I can't even access settings without it closing. This just happened yesterday. I did an antivirus scan, windows updates scan, corrupted files scan and most came up with no malware, updates, or corrupted files. I do have a Kaspersky browser extension on chrome however it seems like I can't turn it off unless I open chr

  2. Chrome closes immediately upon opening (1-2 seconds max)

    My Chrome browser closes immediately upon opening (1-2 seconds max), it opens up and I can see my default homepage then it automatically closes in a spilt second. I am unable to toggle the settings menu or anything before it closes. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and a system restore but with no luck. now my firefox refuses to open also and then I came across a thread saying it might be a problem with Microsoft. How do I fix this? Chrome is vital for me.

  4. Chrome closing 2-3 seconds after opening

    Google Chrome closes 1 second after opening (nothing works)

    Hello! I'm Cristiano, an Independent Advisor. I'm here to help.

    It sounds like you've already tried some troubleshooting steps, but let's see if we can narrow down the issue and find a solution.

    First, let's try a few basic steps:

    1. Check if there are any pending Windows updates and install them.

    2. Restart the computer and try opening Google Chrome again.

    3. Check for any malware or viruses on the computer using a trusted antivirus software.

    4. Disable any third-party antivirus software temporarily and see if that resolves the issue.

    5. Try opening Google Chrome in Incognito mode by pressing Ctrl+Shift+N and see if it stays open.

    If the above steps don't work, try these steps:

    1. Clear the cache and cookies in Google Chrome.

    2. Disable any extensions in Google Chrome and see if that resolves the issue.

    3. Try creating a new user profile in Google Chrome and see if the issue persists.

    4. Run the Chrome Cleanup Tool to remove any unwanted programs or software that may be interfering with Chrome's operation.

    5. Try uninstalling and reinstalling Google Chrome again, but make sure to delete any leftover files and folders in the following directories: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome" and "C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome".

    If the above steps still don't work, you may need to consider using a different web browser or seek help from a professional technician.

    I hope this was helpful.
