Google Chrome not working after Windows 10 November update

Isha,

Please explain why we should do these steps. My problem using Chrome only came up because of a Windows update. I don't think it's a virus.

 

Chrome component not updated

Trying to play Netflix - get Netflix Error M7357-1003

This says WidevineCdm component is not updated and suggests I disable Anti-virus and Firewalls to update it.

I am a klutz with technology and don't know how to do this. I found the component on Chrome but Chrome Help is not helpful for Windows 10.

I have two Anti-virus systems, McAfee and PCMatic - God only knows why - but neither tells me what specific changes they have made.

Please help!

 

Start with D/L ing & installing Malwarebytes, the free version will work fine. Do a full system scan & quarantine anything it finds.

You do have an AV on your system, it's called Defender. You can find out about it here. Make sure it is turned on & scroll to the bottom of the tutorial to find more links related to Defender.

Windows Defender - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

If Malwarebytes does not fix the problem with Chrome, suggest you d/l AdwCleaner, which is good at removing adware. Other options are resetting your browser & starting fresh.

Reset Chrome settings to default - Chrome Help

 

^^ Agree with the great advice by @Borg 386. ^^

Some of these pests respawn from your Google sync settings. So, you might need to disable sync, at least for a while, until this is cleared. Here's one link with the steps:

Please post back with a status update.

It seems like reseting the chrome was helping. Reset Chrome settings to default - Chrome Help
So far i'm testing and it's seems to be working fine now.

 

Glad to hear. I usually steer clear of Chrome because I think it has more vulnerabilities than Firefox for instance and Google isn't giving a damn for fixing reported issues.

 

Glad you got it sorted, thanks for posting back on the actions you took. This will help others down the road. If the situation is fixed, don't forget to mark the thread as "solved." *Wink. (You can always change that back to unsolved if the problem does reappears).

 

+1 for this step, and HitmanPro and Emsisoft Emergency Kit for the final check.
