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,

 

How to add GIT and GITHUB as safe applications to Bit Defender

I use BIT DEFENDER internet security 2016

When I'm trying to commit/push/pull/fetch/other I get told Bit Defender has blocked it. I need to be able to mark GIT as safe (to white list it)

Searching on Google shows me how to white list websites but not applications..

Under the ransomware section I can add programs. Mine currently looks like (and this is only part of the list)





As you can see, multiple git.exe

How do I add all of the GIT, GitHub and associated .exe to the allowed list because looking at the list, it appears as if the app resides in the appdata folder and appears to generate a unique string for the folder. I suspect BitDefender is trusting applications by the path, not the name of the application (which makes sense)
