    Google Chrome Crahses and suspended in task manager

    Hi GSsswuw8,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Could you please help me with the below information:

    1. Do you have any antivirus installed on the computer?
    2. Are you aware of making any changes to the computer or browser prior to the issue?

    This issue is because of profile data corruption on google chrome or because of cookies, extensions, plugins and History. I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to resolve this issue.

    Method 1: Rename Google chrome file.


    Before proceeding I would suggest you end all the task related to Google Chrome from task manager.

    Step 1: Rename Chrome User Data file.


    1. Press Windows and
      E key together on your Keyboard.
    2. Navigate to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome.
    3. Search for User data folder. Rename this folder to UserData.old
    4. Open the chrome now and check if it is working.

    Note:
    The new user data folder will be created automatically, but
    new profile will not have any of your previous data in it. To access the data back, try signing out and signing in back to the application. Or you have to manually copy the data from old profile.

    Step 2: Copy the previous data to New Profile.


    I would suggest you end all the task related to Google Chrome from task manager.
    Then follow the steps mentioned below:

    1. Press Windows and
      E key together on your Keyboard.
    2. Navigate to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\UserData.old\Default.
    3. Open a new tab and navigate to: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default. (Make sure this is the new user data folder)
    4. Now copy the file one by one, once the copy is done. In-between Reopen Chrome browser and check if there is issue same issue.
    5. If the issue reoccurs, then the culprit is one of the file copied above.

    Method 2:
    Troubleshoot on google chrome.

    Note: The Uninstall and Reinstall option might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added, this will also clear the history, favorites, cookies and password. We recommend
    that you note these sites and settings before you use the Reset on chrome.

    I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in the article on
    Fix Chrome if it crashes or won't open.


    Hope it helps.

    problem uninstalling google chrome

    Hi,

    Since you already uninstalled Google Chrome using the Programs and Features, Google notifications may still be running in the background processes. We suggest that you follow these steps on how to end the Google Chrome process:

    • On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
    • Select Task Manager.
    • Under Processes, locate Google Notifications or Google Chrome.
    • Right click on them and select End Task.
    • Double check under Programs and Features if Google Chrome is completely gone.

    Let us know if these steps worked.

    google chrome & task manager issues

    hi,

    i have seen this issue in many threads, but not a single one of them provide a solution?? with so many people experiancing the same exact errors why do microsoft respond to the posts with the generic restart your machine, uninstall and reinstall the programme
    blah blah we are not going to the trouble of searching microsoft forums because we failed to try the basics!

    this thread exactly descripes the issues that i have

    I have this strange issue where, after I've used Chrome for a while and then I close the session, I try to reopen Chrome and nothing happens. It just won't launch. So I decided to take a look under the Task Manager processes and guess what... Task Manager
    wouldn't open either. I tried right clicking from the taskbar to open the Task Manager, tried with CTRL+ALT+DEL but it just won't respond. Then I decided to restart the computer and it just got stuck on the "Restarting" Windows screen.

    This happens as a chain of events starting with Chrome and I have no idea what's causing it or how to fix it but it gets annoying. Also why would Task Manager not be able to open?

    I'm running the latest version of Chrome, Windows 10, computer is clean of malware etc.

    copied this as it is step by step exactly what my computer does, many people have commented that they too have the exact chain of events! it is not as easy as uninstall then reinstall it is an ongoing issue that represents itself within days of any temp
    fix like restarting machine or reinstalling programmes. please can this issue be addressed as i use my computer for work, i use google chrome for work and it really is a massive issue for me when it starts playing up My task manager doesn't work , nor does my google chrome , :(
