My Chrome just randomly stopped loading every website except Facebook this morning. Did an update, then un and re installed. No change. I can't even sign into chrome. Everything works fine on Edge

Ok, chrome will work with any links that first pop up, but nothing works (even Gmail) if I type it in the address bar or search bar

Same thing happens with Bing

Duck duck go still works

Same thing happens on any pc

My iPhone chrome is fine

Any ideas on what I can do?

Pc up to date, done virus scan and malware scan

previoiusly, when you entered in the adress bar, you had a google lens search, that allowed you to click on it to search with lens on the page

i have this reoccuring issue that happens sometimes where the default browser turns into yahoo. i tried to look through extensions and i heard mcafee sometimes did that so i uninstalled that too, also i checked default browser both on the browser and settings, i have no idea what to do.

I was testing the Summarizer API with Chrome's built-in AI model and it gets crashed after failing to generate the summary for a few times. And now it suggests me to reinstall Chrome. Is there other way to getting the model back?

My first post ever. I was installing fitgirl repack of watch dogs 2. I had 8 tabs open in the background while it installed. Everything worked fine untill the game installed.

I closed the tabs before playing the game. I played for like 5/10 minutes. I closed the game and reopened chrome, all my profiles were gone as if it was new. I got a bit sus and i quickly uninstalled the game, ran windows defender offline. But before that i did check the task manager and there was probably resume running i didn't know what it was then and i still don't (i am not sure if i was resume running before running a full windows offline scan). After the scan i thought it was good but this resume app was still running and the weird part is if i end it, windows input experience starts running out of nowhere. So idk if i have malware virus or anything. But,

I did run Malwarebytes and offline full scan (the full offline scan came to 92 percent and shut itself and started my pc tho,idk if that's normal)

The Malwarebytes detected 6 Malwares and quarantined them but i think most of them were crack files etc (not sure)

My system-

Windows 11 (os build number 26100) 8 gigs of ram+ryzen 7 5700x+ intel arc750+hp ssd Also i researched resume is supposed to be some linking remote controlling from your phone thingie but I don't have my phone connected to my pc.

I dig a bit about the whole resume and windows input experience thing but it seems something not be worried about but my whole introduction and chrome loosing data experience have made be quiet anxious.

The stuff i did- 1. Rebooted 2. Tried offline scans 3. Malwarebytes scanned 4. Uninstalled the repack i installed 5. Went to settings and turned off resume but still when rebooted it keeps running, tho it says turned off. 6. Scanned for corrupted files it said i had a few corrupted files. Idk how to fix that yet, i just ran sfs /scannow. 7. Tried shutting windows input experience by following this https://www.reddit.com/r/WindowsHelp/s/yeyVJQ7MVK

Questions- 1. Should i be worried and what should i do? Do i have malware or viruses? 2. How to disable resume+windows input experience? 3. How to get my Chrome profiles back?(I heard logging back in works fine but I'm doubtful about my data being vulnerable)

Thank you all for reading this far, if you need further information feel free to comment.

I heard that yahoo opening in Google is a sign of hijacking/malicious malware (I’ve been getting security popups but I don’t see anything suspicious in my downloads)

If anybody could help me figure out how to fix this I would be very appreciative

Hi,

I came across a problem that I can not somehow fix. I was clicking through some videos on youtube where all the icons and video title were normal size, but as I opened another video, suddenly all the icons and tiltle even the settings menu got smaller. Idk if I clicked on something or youtube did another update while I was on it. This has happened on my laptop, youtube on phone looks like usuall and also in icognito mode on my laptop looks normal. Can please someone help me, I asked chat gpt for help even searched if someone came across the same sutiation but nothing helped. Please tell me if anybony came across the same problem and if it is just another random update. I am also including photos for better understanding (theres my figer in the lower left corner)

Thank you in andvance, if someone helps me.

The use case I have alot of tabs open, about 70% Youtube, 20% Reddit and 10% Other...with Reddit, I can clearly see which Subreddit it's from as Reddit links tell you the subreddit, but with Youtube the links aren't structured this way...any ideas?

On a real note, why does it use so much ram ffs???

Google Chrome just randomly stopped working on my laptop. I can't Google anything or access any Google site (Google support, etc). I uninstalled it, thinking I could reinstall, but now I still can't access anything Google from Microsoft Edge either. For example if I type in a question on Bing and it pulls up a Google support answer, I can't access that page. It says it is taking too long to respond. So I can't even access the Google site to re download Chrome. Any ideas?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been dealing with a really strange issue on Windows 11. Whenever I start my computer, Chrome sometimes launches on its own in the background and opens a YouTube video - usually some Korean content.

A few weird things about this:

• Chrome is not in my startup/autostart list.

• I have no extensions installed.

• When Chrome starts, I can see through the taskbar preview that it has opened a video.

• While this background Chrome process is running, I cannot click on any desktop icons until I manually end the Chrome task.

I’ve tried scanning for malware and looking through autostart entries, but nothing obvious comes up.

Has anyone seen something like this before? Could it be some hidden scheduled task, or something else messing with Chrome? Any suggestions on how to stop this would be hugely appreciated.

So i found out that on my school's google account, I won't be able to change my profile picture. I wonder if there's a way to bypass this cuz it will be rly cool if i did so, I also asked for permission from the IT office and they allowed me to try bypassing it so I won't get in trouble

Is there an extension that's basically just "hey want an extra 10+ shortcuts here you go", cause it looks like all those speed dial extensions quite drastically change the way the whole page looks?

Why does google recommend me this specifc search whenever I search up something lengthy?

Hey i wonder if i should update google chrome on my pc, is there a bug that i need to be aware of? I didn't update chrome for like 2 month, what should i do?

I'm coming from these past tutorials here in the sub forums:

1. Restoring tabs after a crash (Chrome for Windows)
2. Restoring Google Chrome tabs or windows (for Windows) after accidentally closing them or restarting computer

1-> Once you restart the google chrome browser and right after noticing that the "restore" and/or "reopen from history" options for tabs and windows recovery did not worked, don't panic

2-> Shut down your chrome (via task manager) and follow the directory path at: users>your_username>appdata>local>google>chrome>usersdata>profile [this could be as much as 1, 2, 3 etc-depending on how many you have created in your chrome] >sessions

3-> Then move all older "sessions" and "tabs" to a desktop folder and keep in your system directory only the last "session" and "tabs" (a 1 file object for each).

I decided this by ascending/descending time order (since I vaguely remembered the moment in time chrome crashed - so the older one on that specific day should be the right one to keep and it should allow you to be able to go back to the last time your chrome was running smoothly with all those 234 tabs and windows open lol

4-> Do the same rearrangement of files (cut+paste from system directory to the desktop folder) for each of your 1, 2, 3 or more profiles

5-> Now you have only 2 files at your system directory: 1 for session and other for tabs, so this means you're ready to go

6-> Here we go, hit the open chrome button and it'll ask you to restore your session, with all tabs and windows properly restored.

Windows 11 home, Omen i9 13900hx laptop.

facing this issue from last few weeks, I tried re-installing , removed all the extensions, only kept ad blocker.

I am running a zoom meeting using a Birddog camera, and I have this tab open to control the camera. All 9 of these buttons are set to a position, but I was wondering if I could map these to a key on my keyboard or perhaps an external tool, like a number pad (my laptop doesn't have one). Is there anything I can do?

Hello, not sure if this is the right place, but how do I get this Standard Playback pop-up to be disabled in Chrome on Android? It pops up every time I click just above the Menu Home and Back Buttons on the bottom of the screen only when using Chrome. Is this a virus or something? I can't even use the bottom ~5% of the Chrome window. This seemed to only happen after the latest update.

It is probably a false alarm, because Google has sent me "critical security alerts" before, but I just want to be sure because I use my main email address for a lot of things.

So at about 5:45 or so I get a message saying there was strange activity on my Gmail. My Gmail still works fine on my phone, but not on Chrome.

Just to be sure, I log in with my phone and I get the whole 2 step verification thing. I log in and I change my password to be sure.

Then I go back to Chrome but I have the same issue. I try Incognito and it works (also with the 2 step verification and new PW) However I can't log in with normal Chrome.

I clear my cache etc as Googling suggests. Still can't log in.

This has never happened before and I want to make sure that my account is not compromised. I do use Nordpass to help me remember some passwords, and I have a Passkey set for my Gmail. Could they be the cause of anything?

I just want to know whether I'm safe and why Google suddenly sent me a security warning, as well as why I can't log into my Gmail normally now.

I have had a problem for a few months now where my default search engine on chrome would be automatically changed to yahoo fairly frequently. I knew something was up but haven't done much about it. Today, while watching youtube on chrome, a new tab was automatically opened and a "search" was done in the tab that directed to the section in chrome settings where the search engine is changed, and it changed it to yahoo. All of this was done without me once touching my mouse or keyboard. I am wondering how concerned I should be about this, and if people think it is an insidious and dangerous virus, or just some run of the mill malware being run by some bad extension I had on chrome.
