  1. Google Chrome selection change in desktop and sometimes in start menu


    A few days ago, when I chose to select the Google Chrome program from the desktop, instead of taking me to the typical Google format with a rectangular Google bar and several selections underneath, I was taken to a landscape selection with no areas to do any searching or selecting. So I decided to go to the route of using the Start menu and now about 1/2 of the time I do get the screen I am looking for but the rest of the time it takes me to that landscape screen. This happened out of the blue and I don't know how to change it back. Help!

    :)

    problem uninstalling google chrome

    Hi,

    Since you already uninstalled Google Chrome using the Programs and Features, Google notifications may still be running in the background processes. We suggest that you follow these steps on how to end the Google Chrome process:

    • On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
    • Select Task Manager.
    • Under Processes, locate Google Notifications or Google Chrome.
    • Right click on them and select End Task.
    • Double check under Programs and Features if Google Chrome is completely gone.

    Let us know if these steps worked.

    Google Chrome crashes

    Hi,

    As per the description, I understand that the Chrome browser crashes. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check whether you are able to repair Google Chrome and check if that helps.

    In Search, enter Control Panel and select Control Panel.

    • Select Programs > Programs and
      Features
      , and then select the program.
    • Select Uninstall to remove the program.
    • To fix the program, select Repair or, if that’s not available, Change.
    • Follow the directions on the screen
    If the repair option is not present, you may uninstall and reinstall the application and check if that helps.

    If the issue still persists, it would be better if you contact the Google Chrome support for further assistance.

    Hope the provided information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.
