    How To Force Open Link In Same Tab In Google Chrome

    Well perhaps a tab manager would allow you to easily identify and close unwanted tabs as well as providing a list of open tabs that you can click to open. Plus import or export tab lists so that you don't loose them. Anyway that was my line of thinking.

    Everywhere I look - it seems that there is no way to override external link handling in Chrome by design.

    One thing you can do is use this extension:

    Open Link in Same Tab - Chrome Web Store

    It does open external links in the same tab but requires a right click to choose option from context menu.

  3. Chrome glitch

    Hello Ralph,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As per the issue description on one of the three users Chrome is not working.
    I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.


    • The account on which you are facing issue with Chrome, does it have the administrator permission?
    • Have you check with other browser? Was the result same?
    • Is the issue specific to only one application or facing issue with other application too?

    First, I would suggest you to use Internet Explorer and see if it brings any difference.
    Here are the steps through which you can use Internet Explorer.




    • Press the Windows key.

    • Type Internet Explorer in the search box.

    • Right click on Internet Explorer
      (Desktop app).

    • Select Pint to task bar.

    • Try to use Internet Explorer from there and see if it brings any difference.

    If you still want to use Chrome then I would suggest you to open the application Chrome in administrator mode and see if it brings any difference. Here are the steps through which you can open Chrome in Administrator mode.

    • Press the Windows key or click on Start icon.
    • Type Google Chrome.
    • Right click on Google Chrome and select the option to Run As Administrator.
    • If everything works fine by running chrome in administrator mode then you may pin it to the task bar.

    Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

    Regards,

    google chrome will not open

    Hello! I am an Independent Advisor, I would love to help you out!

    Are you getting any error messages when it tries to open?

    The first thing I would try is to restart your computer and then test it.

    If a restart does not work then I would suggest to open task manager and close any chrome servers.

    To do this you can right click the task bar and select task manager.

    Then click "more details".

    Under the processes tab scroll through everything and look for anything that says chrome or has the chrome icon.

    For anything that is chrome click on it then select "end task".

    After this is done go to the "details" tab and do the same steps.

    After this attempt to open chrome again.

    If neither of these work then you should try to uninstall chrome then re-install it.
