    Firefox and Chrome not working on Windows 10


    Hello, i just upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. I started it off with installing Firefox but when I try to launch it nothing happens. I looked at Task Manager and when I launch Firefox, 2 or 3 Firefox processes appear but they dissappear after 1 second. The same thing happens with chrome. I have restarted my laptop multiple times and I have turned off the only antivirus software that I have (Windows defender) . Microsoft Edge works fine tho, but I really would like to use Firefox.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    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.

    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.
