Windows 10: Chrome and Firefox not opening after Windows update.

After the recent Windows update, whenever I open Chrome or Firefox, they just immediately close without any error message. I've looked into many different solutions to the problem, but none of them seem to help. I've checked for malware and checked my firewall and antiviruses. I've tried reinstalling both apps too, to no avail. Does anyone have any advice?

Windows 10 - Chrome and firefox are not working

This helped me with Chrome but not with Firefox.

I opened Control Panel>Troubleshooting>Programs>Advanced, Run as Administrator and then went through the steps. My problem was the Chrome wouldn't start at all, so I went through the steps and it asks what program you're having problems with, I chose Google
Chrome, it'll go through a short diagnostic and then give you the option of Troubleshoot Program & then it gives a list of problems. I chose the first one: This program worked in earlier versions.... then click next, I clicked Windows 7, then next and it did
it's little fix. I tested and Chrome opened up just fine.

No such luck for Firefox, though.

 

Explorer, Chrome or Firefox ?

Not that IE is my main browser (Firefox is), but Adblock Plus is available for IE now. Alternatively you can use custom Tracking Protection lists to perform a similar function. Personally, I find IE very good, but Firefox is slightly better for my use (also it's a habit). In my own personal testing, Chrome used twice memory of Firefox with exactly the same tabs open (due to the way it manages processes). Some people have experienced many issues with Firefox, but I rarely ever do.

 

Chrome and Firefox do not work in Windows 10 after an update

Thanks for your response.

Here is what I faced and what I tried to resolve it.

• 
  When did the issue start? : A week before I got an update on Windows 10, after the update I am no longer able to use Firefox/Chrome.
  
• 
  Were there any changes made before the issue occurred? : I did not make any changes but looked up for suggestions over here and ran Windows Update Troubleshooter. Nothing came in those runs.
  
• 
  Have you tried updating your flash player? : No, I did not.
  
• 
  What troubleshooting steps have you done so far? : Answered above. The Troubleshooter did not resolve this issue. I have tried to reinstall both the browsers. Still nothing works.
