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.

 

MS Edge showing up multiple times in Task Manager

I purchased a new laptop about two weeks ago on Win 10, 12 GB memory. When I use MS Edge, multiple instances show up in Task Manager even when I have only one tab (and only one instance of Edge running). The first shows up in Apps, but I have 4 other instances
totaling almost 500 MB under background processes. Same thing when I try Google Chrome, but with Chrome (again only one tab, one instance), I have 17 (!!) instances under background processes totalling almost 400 MB. Why do so many instances of either browser
show up and can/should I end some of these processes to free up memory? Right now with Outlook, Edge, iTunes, and of course Task Manager, I'm at 40% memory. That seems awfully high for only four programs running.

 

Google Chrome will not open, task manager will not launch

Exactly, when I get stuck on Restarting screen I just hit the hard reset button on my PC next to my power button. But all these things seem to be related. I just came back here because it happened again, just now, and it looks like there's still no real
answer. What's funny is that when you search google it auto-suggests "chrome and task manager won't open" by itself, so I assume it's not just me having this issue.

EDIT: Oh and in response to Sayan_Ghosh, I don't have this problem restarting the computer any other instance. The only time it gets stuck on "Restarting" screen is when I can't launch Chrome and Task Manager. Any other time the computer restarts without
a problem. I'm guessing the PC can't restart because it still sees Chrome as "running" or something like that, even though it's not.
