  1. Chrome opens with only a white screen


    I recently added RAM and upgraded my Windows 7 computer to Windows 10 Pro. Everything upgraded and worked fine, except Chrome. I have uninstalled and reinstall Google Chrome a number of times. The install seems to work fine with no error messages or hang ups. Then when I click on the Chrome logo to open the app, what opens is a blank white screen. I can move the mouse cursor around the white screen and in certain areas it turns from pointer or finger, like it normally would if I was hovering over a link. I can also move the cursor to the upper right corner of the white screen and I will see "Close", "Minimize", and "Maximize" as I hover over those areas. If I hover over the "Close" area and left click, the white screen closes, and the system tray at the bottom of my screen will then show Chrome as closed. It is as if Chrome is there and functioning, but the screen is not populating with words or graphics. Microsoft Edge does fine. As does Internet Explorer.

    :)

  2. Chrome opens as a white screen after Windows 10 install.

    After installing windows 10, Chrome opens as a white screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, called Google support and tried some trouble shooting from them but it opens as a white screen. How can I fix this?

    Google Chrome stuck on white screen

    The issue seems to be hardware acceleration. At least in my case it was. I solved my problem by performing the steps below.

    • Right click chrome shortcut and go to properties.
    • Click the Compatibility tab and run it in compatibility mode for Vista.
    • Open chrome then go to Settings>Advanced then under the
      System
      heading there is an option to disable hardware acceleration.
    After performing those steps you can stop using compatibility mode for vista.

    Hopefully this works for you!

    Chrome opens with only a white screen

    Chrome---lots of white space at top of screen

    Not exactly sure how to word this. When I go to Chrome, this is what I see, from top to bottom:

    1. Tabs at very top.
    2. Address bar.
    3. Below address bar, huge amount of white space, then a line.
    4. Content.
    The huge white space takes up precious screen space. I want to get rid of it. At one point, Chrome/Google had some stuff there, which I deleted. But I cannot find a way to remove the white space. This wasn't there when I was running Windows 7 two weeks ago.
    Now I am running Windows 10.

    Thanks.
