Have done the free upgrade to Windows 10 on my 3 year old computer. Everything was fine until last night. Goole Chrome will no longer run, just crashes all the time. Not a real problem, as I have started using the generic one on Windows 10, explorer. Just wondering, is this a common problem? The same thing happened on my wife's Dell lap top, a few weeks earlier. Is there a known fix? A got use to Google Chrome.
I'm running Windows 10 and a couple of machines. Chrome has been fine and doesn't crash. I have done clean installs of 10 though after the initial upgrade.
You can download the media from Microsoft. Don't worry about the license as you are installing it on a box that had the Windows 10 upgrade done on it and so it will be registered with Microsoft. The reason I did the clean install was down to years of bitter experience of fixing machines which had been upgraded. If you don't fancy the work you can just uninstall and reinstall Chrome first to see if that fixes it. If you have set up Chrome with a Google account you will hopefully have everything sync'd and so the reinstall will re-add your bookmarks, extensions etc.
Did more or less what you advised. Removed Google Chrome, rebooted the computer and then re-installed Chrome. Every thing seem fine now.
I run an IT company and have lots of customers bringing their systems in after the upgrade assistant got it wrong and trashed their system. It is a big improvement on the dreaded 8!
For what it's worth, half a dozen or so of my kit's drivers and several bit of 'mission critical' software on my machine has had issues since updating to 10, but so far all of them have been due to the conversion process, as far as I can see. Uninstalling them and re-installing them in the new OS has so far sorted each one. Looks like it was more of a culture shock than anything else.
I was on the 'insiders' Windows 10 programme (not that I'm an IT genius) and downloaded the very early Beta versions of Win' 10 on two PCs. it was only half finished at that time, a few months back. It's better now but not as well refined IMHO as Win 7, with a whole load of irritating oddities about it. Chrome runs just fine on it, make sure you're fully updated and you update the drivers etc' for other apps you have. There are a few things however that don't run too well on it.
I removed all traces of GW10 updater from the windows download on my 3 year old laptop. I like win 7 and do not want to slow the PC down with another resource hungry upgrade. Probably in 12 months time I'll review the situation there is an improvement for me
