please close all chrome windows and try again

If you still can’t uninstall Chrome, check to see if any Chrome processes are running and stop any that you find. If it works, reboot your PC and re-install Chrome, then you’ll be done! Since you ran a malware scan and removed any threats that were found, the “Uninstall a program” utility just might get rid of Chrome at this point. If the problem isn’t caused by either malware or a bad browser extension, it’s indeed likely that Chrome itself is the culprit. Repeat this step until you find the extension that causes the browser to crash, then delete it. If not, re-enable the next extension in the list and see if Chrome starts crashing again. However, if Chrome still crashes, skip step 5 and follow the instructions in the next section.ĥ – Re-enable the first extension on in the list, then close Chrome and re-open it. If this is the case, continue with step 5 below. If Chrome doesn’t crash after using it for a while, you’ll know the problem is being caused by a bad extension. Here’s how:ġ – Load Chrome, then type (or copy and paste) this into the address bar:ģ – Disable all of the extensions that are installed on your system by clicking the blue sliders (they should turn grey to indicated that they have been disabled).Ĥ – Close Chrome, then re-open it. If the problem still persists after you’re satisfied that your system is free of malware, I recommend checking to see if a bad browser extension could be the problem. This post will walk you through the procedure that works best for me. The first thing I would try is running a thorough malware scan on your system. If that’s the case, reinstalling Chrome won’t fix the problem. Rick’s answer: Heather, this problem could be caused by several different things, and your Chrome installation itself might not even be the cause. How can I delete Chrome from my computer so I can reinstall it?

It does this even though there are no Chrome windows open.

“Please close all Google Chrome windows and try again.” I tried to uninstall Chrome using the “Add or remove program” thingy in Control Panel, but it gives me this error message: It happens every time I load Chrome, but sometimes it’ll take a couple of minutes.

Sometimes it’ll just freeze and other times the window just blanks out and turns white. Question from Heather G.: The Chrome browser on my Windows 10 PC keeps crashing on me. Click here to sign up for my free Rick’s Tech Tips Newsletter!
