Fix 1: Restart your PC
Sometimes, some programs running on your computer may
conflict with Chrome, causing it to fail. One simple fix to it is restarting
your PC and Chrome.
If your problem still exists after the reboot, read on
and try the fix, below.
Fix 2: Disable your antivirus temporarily
Your problem is sometimes caused by interference from
antivirus software. To see if that’s the problem for you, temporarily disable
your antivirus program and firewall and check if the problem persists. (Consult
your antivirus documentation for instructions on disabling it.)
If Chrome works properly after you disable the antivirus
software, contact the vendor of your antivirus software and ask them for
advice, or install a different antivirus solution.
Be extra careful about what sites you visit, what emails
you open and what files you download when your antivirus is disabled.
Fix 3: Hard reset Chrome
In some cases, Chrome not opening issue happens when
certain files are damaged or corrupted. To fix it, try clearing your Chrome
profile to hard reset the browser. Here is how to do it:
1) On your keyboard, press the Ctrl, Shift and Esc keys
at the same time to open Task Manager.
2)Verify there is no Chrome related process running on
the background. If there is, right-click the process and select End task.
3) On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R at
the same time to invoke the Run dialog.
4) Type %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User
Data in the box and click OK.
