Windows 10: Google Chrome Slow to Open After Major Windows Update

Hi,

I have just done a major Windows update from 1709 to 2004 using the Windows Download Tool. Everything seems to be working fine, except that Google Chrome take ages to load - 5 minutes or more. I don't want to reset it as it has many settings that would take a long time to redo. GC is up to date. It only started happening after the Win update.

Possible minor bug - Update with both Opera 2x & Google Chrome installed

Strange bug: Running the previous-older version of GPU-Z on Windows 7, 64-bit, SP1 and trying to update GPU-Z. Have Opera 23/24 installed as a 2ndary web browser, and Google Chrome installed as default/main web browser.
Steps that work fine:
1) Run GPU-Z whatever version.
2) Open About.
3) Click the links.
Result: Links open correctly in default browser - Google Chrome.

Steps to reproduce bug:
1) Run GPU-Z, version before latest.
2) Try to check for updates.
3) GPU-Z says an update is available.
4) Tell it to show the update.
Result: Link opens incorrectly in Opera 23/24, instead of default Google Chrome web browser.
Expected: Open in Google Chrome instead.

Note: Opera 23/24 uses the same core as Google Chrome.

Please check and fix, if necessary.

 

Possible minor bug - Update with both Opera 2x & Google Chrome installed

Hello! Does not seem to be fixed in any way.
PROBLEM: On Windows 7, with Google Chrome as default browser, try to update GPU-Z.
Result: Opens in IE11.
Expected: To open in default browser, i.e. Google Chrome.

On Windows 8.1, a slightly different thing happens:
PROBLEM: On Windows 8.1, with both Opera and Google Chrome installed and with Google Chrome as default browser, try to update GPU-Z.
Result: Opens in Opera.
Expected: To open in default browser, i.e. Google Chrome.

Please fix this in 0.8.2! *Smile

 

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.
