Google Chrome takes ages to open

[Jonno]

Hi,

I've been having trouble the last few weeks with Google Chrome. I click to open Chrome and it takes a solid 10-15 minutes before it opens. It works perfectly fine when up and running and there's no issues with speed once it's opened.

If anyone could help that would be great!

Thanks
J

Any other Browser have this problem?

No issues with Firefox or other browsers. Just Chrome so far...

It may have something to do with "extensions" try launching Chrome with extensions disabled

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-extensions

by editing the "Target" text box to include a space and then --disable-extensions at the end of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

I am also having this problem, just in the last few days. In fact since I downloaded the latest Windows 10 update. Coincidence?

I am also having this problem, just in the last week after Anniversay upgrade.. No problem with other browsers. In fact since I downloaded the latest Windows 10 update. Coincidence?

Aha! Me too. I kept getting the notorious "Aw, snap" every time I tried to open a page.

I have ditched Chrome.

Sorted it! Go to settings/update and security/windows update/advanced options/choose how updates are delivered. Turn the slider to OFF. This stops Microsoft using your computer to send updates to other PCs.
