Windows 10: Google Chrome will not launch after Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 7

So this is a weird situation. I upgraded to windows 10 from 7. Everything is working well (so far) except for Chrome. When I click the Chrome icon in the task bar, nothing happens. However, if I look in the task manager, there are processes running for Chrome. Down in the task bar, there is no blue line under the icon to denote that it is running. I have tried the following:

1) Used Windows + Tab to see if it was running on a different desktop. No.
2) Uninstalled.
3) Downloaded it over again and reinstalled. When it is down installing, it is supposed to launch the browser, but I do not see anything but a process in the task manager.
4) Rebooted the computer, installed Windows Updates.

I for the life of me can't get it to run. Or at least show up visually as it seems to have a process running in the background. Any clue as to how I might fix. I am really liking windows 10, but not having chrome is kind of difficult. While I like the edge browser, I use Last Pass way too much not to use a browser without addon support.

Windows 10 upgrade from windows 7

I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 about a month ago. I'm finding that occasionally after startup Google Chrome with fail to launch although it appears to launch and operate correctly if I wait a considerable period of time after startup ~30mins.
The version of Google Chrome I'm using was installed in 2012. I attempted to uninstall Chrome to download the newest version, but the operating system will not allow me to uninstall Chrome -- a message was displayed about closing Chrome applications
in windows 8 mode was displayed. I then attempted to open task manager to look for open Chrome applications and the "task manager" command does not work. At some point a message appears essentially indicating the task manager.lnk file cannot be found.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Method 1: Try restart your computer couple of times and check if it helps because sometimes restarting the computer will fix many issues.

Method 2: If the issue doesn’t persist try to boot the windows in
Clean boot and check.

Clean boot- It’s a process where in you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs.
A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
