Windows 10: Microsoft account causing chrome to stop working

Whenever I try to boot up chrome when on my Microsoft account chrome will instantly close. I'm not sure how this happened as one day it was working and now suddenly it wont. It has to be my account as I've tried it on different devices to the same result however when I log into someone else's account I can use chrome but it still wont work when I'm logged in. Is there any way I can go about fixing this?

Chrome not working with Microsoft Family Account

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to use Google Chrome in your Child account. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

• What is the error message that you receive when launching Google Chrome?
  

Ideally, when a child account is setup and the child tries to access Google Chrome, they get a permission prompt and the Parent has to provide the permission.



One of the things you can do is check if Google Chrome is blocked for the child account. To do this, refer the steps mentioned in the article
Block inappropriate apps, games, and media on Windows 10 and Xbox One.



Let us know how it goes.

Chrome glitch

Hello Ralph,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per the issue description on one of the three users Chrome is not working.
I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.

• The account on which you are facing issue with Chrome, does it have the administrator permission?
• Have you check with other browser? Was the result same?
• Is the issue specific to only one application or facing issue with other application too?

First, I would suggest you to use Internet Explorer and see if it brings any difference.
Here are the steps through which you can use Internet Explorer.

• 
  Press the Windows key.
  
• 
  Type Internet Explorer in the search box.
  
• 
  Right click on Internet Explorer
  (Desktop app).
  
• 
  Select Pint to task bar.
  
• 
  Try to use Internet Explorer from there and see if it brings any difference.
  

If you still want to use Chrome then I would suggest you to open the application Chrome in administrator mode and see if it brings any difference. Here are the steps through which you can open Chrome in Administrator mode.

• Press the Windows key or click on Start icon.
• Type Google Chrome.
• Right click on Google Chrome and select the option to Run As Administrator.
• If everything works fine by running chrome in administrator mode then you may pin it to the task bar.

Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.
