If Google Chrome won’t open on Windows 10, you can try the following solutions to fix the issue:
1. Restart your computer: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary glitches and allow Chrome to open normally.
2. Check for conflicting programs: Some antivirus or security software may conflict with Chrome and prevent it from opening. Temporarily disable any such software and try opening Chrome again.
3. Clear Chrome cache and browsing data: Open Chrome’s settings, go to “Privacy and security,” and then click on “Clear browsing data.” Select the time range and the types of data you want to clear, and then click “Clear data.” Restart Chrome and see if it opens.
4. Update Chrome: Outdated versions of Chrome may have compatibility issues with Windows 10. Open Chrome’s settings, go to “About Chrome,” and check for any available updates. If an update is available, click on “Update” and wait for the process to complete.
5. Reset Chrome settings: Open Chrome’s settings, scroll down to the bottom, and click on “Advanced.” Under the “Reset and clean up” section, click on “Restore settings to their original defaults.” Confirm the reset and restart Chrome.
6. Reinstall Chrome: If none of the above solutions work, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome. Go to the Control Panel, click on “Uninstall a program,” find Google Chrome in the list, right-click on it, and select “Uninstall.” Then, download the latest version of Chrome from the official website and install it.
7. Check for malware: Sometimes, malware can interfere with Chrome’s functionality. Run a full scan with your antivirus software or use a reputable malware removal tool to check for any infections.
If none of these solutions work, you may need to seek further technical assistance or consider using an alternative web browser.
