Happened to me a year or so back and after much faffing I eventually sorted it... but I can't remember how now.

Anyone got any advice? I tried a couple of recommendations found on the interweb, and updated Java but no joy so far.

Running Windows 10, on a pc.

Thanks.

Do you actually [i]use[/i] Java? I'd uninstall it personally.

Run a Malwarebytes scan.

Dunno, but I had great help from a lady at Google when I posted on the help forum ( https://productforums.google.com/forum/). Even gave me links to download a Beta version and kept bugging me for progress!

Ah, I thought a few websites used Java so you needed it.

Ah ok, I just looked through the google forum and tried some of the advice before but no joy.

Sounds like I'm having a similar problem after upgrading to Win10.

Chrome'll work for 5-10 mins and then crash.

Going into Task Manager shows several chrome.exe thingys running. I think everytime you click on chrome to try & re-start it, it runs the executable but it doesn't actually work.

Sometimes 'end task' on all the chrome.exe thingys sorts it out, but invariably I just end up swapping to MS Edge & going from there.

Uninstalling & re-installing didn't sort it.

Very few these days, and modern versions of Java disable browser support by default anyway (it's a massive security risk).

Chrome doesn't support Java anymore, as Cougar says.
More help here - https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95315?hl=en&ref_topic=3097302

and a Beta version:

I had some problems on a Chromebook. Disabling extensions worked, and then gradually turned back on the ones I was missing.

I was having the same problem, downloading the Beta version solved it for me.

No, the random post from the Ukranian IP address.

I suspect I'll be digging out the hammers this afternoon.
