Windows 10: My Chrome Crashes When Attempting to Attach A File

Hello,


My Chrome keeps crashing everytime I try to upload or attach a file. This happens in Outlook, Microsoft Teams, etc etc. Doesn't matter what tab or application it just crashes.


My Chrome is up-to-date [COLOR=rgba154, 160, 166, 1]Version 89.0.4389.114 Official Build 64-bit[/COLOR]

Computer fairly new.

No virus'.

I've turned off all extensions.

Logged out of my user settings.

Reset cashe and ran "clean up computer" to no avail no harmful software found.

Turned off hardware acceleration and continue running background apps.


This didn't start happening until about 2-3 updates ago. Not even sure which one but it was fine about 1 month ago.


Any help figuring this out would be much appreciated.


Thank you!

:)

Google Chrome crashes

Hi,

As per the description, I understand that the Chrome browser crashes. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check whether you are able to repair Google Chrome and check if that helps.

In Search, enter Control Panel and select Control Panel.

• Select Programs > Programs and
  Features, and then select the program.
• Select Uninstall to remove the program.
• To fix the program, select Repair or, if that’s not available, Change.
• Follow the directions on the screen

If the repair option is not present, you may uninstall and reinstall the application and check if that helps.

If the issue still persists, it would be better if you contact the Google Chrome support for further assistance.

Hope the provided information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.
