Windows 10: Issue with Google Chrome - cursor flickering with 'loading' circle, causing other issues

Hi there,I posted the below on the Google Chrome support site, and it was recommended that I also seek solutions here as one of the experts said it may be something more to do with Windows than Chrome itself. I'm desperate to get an answer from someone!For the past few days, whenever I have Chrome open, the cursor is constantly blinking, showing the Windows 'loading' blue circle, for a frame or two at a time, a few times a second. Sometimes it's worse than other times. Sometimes I'm unable to use dropdown selection menus when this is happening, almost like it's trying to register a click each

Issue with Google Chrome loading but Internet Explorer works fine

I have a windows 10, MSI gaming laptop and recently had a hard drive failure. Swapped the HHD out for a SSD. I booted into a Recovery USB and windows loaded. Soon after I started seeing issues with google chrome. Before the hard drive failure I never once
saw an issue with google chrome.

Whenever I launch Chrome, the web pages are slow to load/ do not load at all. I receive the Error ( ERR_TIMED_OUT) frequently. However, internet explorer and edge will work just fine.

I have forgotten the WIFI from Network list then restarted my computer and issue persisted.

I have reset/turned off my router/modem, restarted my computer and issue persisted.

I have reinstalled/updated my Wireless internet driver and then did previous steps above and issue still persists.

Not sure if anyone on here knows if there is a problem with google chrome, but I have not found any similar post out on the internet.

 

Google Chrome Issues

I been running Chrome for a while and I love the layout, but I been getting some interesting issues with it. Mainly it seems that every now and then it likes to completely clear my thumbnails, and all my other info, I don't get it. And then after the clear it sometimes is impossible to get pages like TPU back on my thumbnails, like its been blocked, but restoring thumbnails doesn't fix it, any ideas?

And 2nd issue is, I've had this happen a few times, after install Chrome usually has your thumbnails as default homepage, but sometimes it has google as the homepage, but if you click to add a new tab (after the 1st) they will go to the thumbnail page, its just the original load in that goes to google. If anyone has solutions for this, that would be great! *Toast :toast:
