I have all my drawings (a lot of works and hours) in different android apps and i can't access to them now. Please help me to retreive my work (a few years of works)? i don't confirm the extended support on it and i don't have the google store option button in the app menu at setting. please hel me!

We have a customer that have set up a Asus Chromebox in Meet mode like described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/nrmkei/possible_to_put_asus_chromebox_into_meet_mode/

Yesterday they got a message saying "Can't launch unsupported Chrome app. Notify your administrator about this issue."

When we go into regular ChromeOS we can see that it's updated, but in the admin console the device shows as offline.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

It used to work but now it won’t boot at all it crashed or something so I unplugged it then replugged it in and now it won’t boot

I bought a brandnew budget asus chromebook c204ma and whenever i try to open it it takes at least 40+ seconds to boot up. I powerwashed it and now it boots up on random seconds 5 seconds to a whole minute. I reached out to store and they told me it's normal since its a 32gb emmc and has a celeron processor. I Don't think inconsistent boot up times are normal, I understand that it might be a bit laggy when opening tabs but not with the boot up. Are they correct? Please give me any advice.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to use the chrome store once your ChromeOS laptop is to old to as it says to update but my laptop unfortunately will never get another software update… Sorry for the shit picture but I hooked this laptop up to a semi old TV so I can binge in bed…

I've blocked thr Javascript and any permissions that could be related to it and I've blocked all the cookies and its still here and pops up everytime I open chrome.

im just tryna install gamemaker like bro :(

I want to let someone use my Chromebook to use Netflix, amazon prime, ect, but I don't want them to have access to everything associated with my google account, especially passwords.

I can't find anywhere to sign out of my google account on chrome on my Chromebook.

Guest mode doesn't allow them to use any other apps.

I'm not wanting them to just use Chrome, but if they happen to open it, Baam, full access to my profile, websites, passwords, etc...

Is this seriously a thing?!

What is this about? Why the new permissions?

ChromeOS 134.0.6998.198 Stable

I accidently stepped on my chrome book (non touchscreen) and now there is a crack inside the screen, now there is a small green splotch on top of one of the cracks, is it still useable? I'm scared the cracks will get worse

I have done searches, and am surprised that i'm not finding any articles or posts about how slippery the bottom of the Lenovo Chromebook plus 14 is! The foot rails are hard, instead of tacky, and provide no grip on a smooth surface. Combine that with the powder-coated finish of the entire unit, and it slides all over the place, from my lap to my desk/table. Every other laptop-form-factor device I have (and I have numerous!) has grippy rails on the bottom, which hold well on a smooth surface. But these Lenovo rails are a harder rubber, almost plastic, and are slick.

I have been doing some searching ways to rectify the issue, and so far nothing looks enticing.
I guess I could get some grippy tape, and apply it over top both foot rails, but I can see that becoming an issue where the tape would start to peel up on the edges. And I don't want to put some sort of case on the device. I like how slim it is.

It honestly is pathetic that I actually have to consider how to resolve this. I can't believe they didn't perform user testing and learn they might need to use a different material for the foot rails.

Anyone have thoughts, suggestions?

my refresh, t, and y keys dont work and there is n okeyboard replacement available so dont say that

My Chromebook updated its OS yesterday and ever since web pages load so slowly as to make it unusable. Occasionally the web page times out and I'll get an unable to load message. Occasionally I get a internet not connected - check wifi" error message from the OS.

The Wifi is fine. Every other device in the house runs fine. At the moment I'm getting 974 Mbps down and 141 Mbps up with a 9 ms ping.

I started to troubleshoot and eventually powerwashed the Chromebook and I still have the same problem (OS updated after powerwash).

I have an older Chromebook with an older OS that works fine. I've sidelined the newer Chromebook until I can figure out what the problem is.

Help me Obi Wan Kanobi. You're my only hope.

I got this Chromebook back in 2022(?) I wanna say, and ever since I got it it's just been super slow? Like it won't load pages very fast, it takes like 5 minutes just to start up chrome browser with 1 new tab open, takes like another 5 minutes just to fully turn on and start up so I can sign in, and I'm just not getting where I could've went wrong considering I've hardly used this thing at ALL, in fact I stopped using it at some point for a couple years cause the things I wanted a Chromebook for, it can't even do, it can run streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc, but the Chromebook is advertised for gaming as well, but it can't even load google play?? I don't know a whole lot about Chromebooks, but it was bought new and given to me as a gift, and I recently have been coming across needing to use a desktop of some sort, this being my only option, idk what I'm supposed to do, I don't have the money for a new one.

Idk how useful this might be but the product ID is 3jq73ua#aba, and bare in mind I have HARDLY used this thing. I've only watched YouTube and Netflix on it a couple times and used discord like once or twice, but other than that, this thing is untouched.

Am I stupid or why is this so difficult to do on a chromebook? Even if I open chrome and locate the file all it does is show the code and not the actual output.

Hey y'all!

Just wanted to share an issue I was having for awhile that I recently found a fix to. My sound quality while using Airpods was horrible, and I recognized it as the quality you get while on a phone call or using the Airpod microphone. I tried changing the input device on my Chromebook like this post suggests, to no avail.

The fix that I found was by going to the experiments page (by typing chrome://flags/ in your URL bar) and disabling Bluetooth Floss Telephony ([#bluetooth-floss-telephony](chrome://flags/#bluetooth-floss-telephony)), then restarting your Chromebook.

Hope this helps someone!

Hello everybody,

as far as I know some people might be interested in what I found today. While you can't enable flag allowing you to change Chromebook's hostname on CrOS 136 and later the setting itself will stay available (and will allow you to change hostname if needed) in CrOS 138 (even if there's no M135 temporary unexpiry settings available).

tl;dr as long as you activate custom hostname on CrOS 135 or earlier it'll stay active on 138

I usually run windows on my pc, but I just got a Chromebook for school so It's easier to take notes, etc.
But my issue is that out of the box, whenever I play any youtube video, through browser or app, it keeps flashing in and out of theatre mode. The video plays fine, but It makes it really hard to watch.

Has this happened to anyone else and/or is there a solution?

It turns on and shows a rabbit. Then it goes to a typing thing

It sats type exit then it brings me to a files looking screen

I cant get a hold of the seller and i cant get help anywhere else

Thank you in advance and pls no hate

I need help with my storage. My I can't delete enough to get some space, and as for apps I only have 6 that I installed so it shouldn't be taking up almost 4 gigs. Does anyone have a clue what's going on here and how to correct it?

Does anybody know what a Chromebook can be used for after "EOD"? I no longer can install anything as it needs to Update to install anything. Can you load a new OS ?
