Windows 10: Windows 10 1809, Chrome only launces correctly when run as an administrator

Upgrading to Windows 10 1809 from 1803 prevents Google Chrome from running properly.

Chrome only runs if I run it as an administrator, reinstalling Chrome doesn't work


Running admin permissions fix doesn't work.


Add-ins, home page, settings all are inaccessible unless Chrome is run as an administrator.


I am a local administrator and have full access to all parts of the system

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.

Regards,

 

Chrome started crashing after Windows 10 upgrade to 1809

Hello

Since upgrading my computer from Windows 10 - 1803 to 1809 it has been crashing Chrome with the following error:

Faulting application name: chrome.exe, version: 71.0.3578.98, time stamp: 0x5c0f4450

Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.17763.168, time stamp: 0xe66d9775

Exception code: 0xc0000374

Fault offset: 0x00000000000fb289

Faulting process id: 0x3b40

Faulting application start time: 0x01d4ab8d17dc5fc6

Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll

Report Id: 07ca0080-6b59-4c42-b3b9-d857fcf59c26

Faulting package full name:

Faulting package-relative application ID:

I have done the following:

• Run latest Windows Updates
• Upgraded Chrome to Version 71.0.3578.98
• Reset Chrome
• Uninstalled/Reinstalled Chrome

The only way I have been able to fix this is by rolling back my update to 1803 which I'd prefer not to do. The crashing does not happen in Windows 10 1803.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

 

People app not launcing in Windows 10

Hi kenpacker,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I’ll be glad to assist you. Appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I would suggest you to run the app troubleshooter and check

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/run-the-troubleshooter-for-windows-apps

IF the issue persists then there might be a chance that the People app may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install People from the Store (green tile)

I hope this post is helpful. Get back to us with the results. We are happy to help.
