Windows 10 throttling Google Chrome?

[darman]

Frustratingly, Chrome has been performing awfully. When I try navigating to a website, it takes over 5 seconds to load, and sometimes says the site is unreachable. Often, refreshing will load the page, but not quickly. If I open links in new tabs, they won't load up until I have selected that tab. I have noticed, however, that if a page is loading slowly in Chrome, and I launch Microsoft Edge, the page immediately loads in Chrome. This leads me to suspect that Microsoft is making Chrome slow somehow in order to get people to switch to Edge, which "... is faster than Google Chrome".

 

As I know this will be asked, my internet download speed is consistently over 50 Mbps, AMD Athlon X4 750K, 8 GB RAM, SSD, etc etc.

Try to format and clean install see if issue still hapenning.

 

If  you don't want to format try to run a Malwarebyte scan

It could also be something else. Run mapwarebytes as @gbergeron said, also try a startup scan from your antivirus

Just... use Firefox?

That's weird.

Maybe some of your Extensions are acting up? (if you use any)

 

Maybe something in your user profile is corrupted?

 

Try this - Press win+r key and open %localappdata% -> Google -> Chrome SxS folder and delete User Data.

(Please verify you synced your data to your google account, This will clear your data)

Hot damn, reinstalling Chrome fixed the problem. Why do I always over complicate the issue and forget the simple things? *facepalm* Thank goodness I'm not A+ certified. That would be embarrassing 

 

Thanks for the input, guys.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but this is actually true, indeed windows 10 is throttling chrome, in favor of forcing edge on us. The reinstall you did simply updated chrome to a new version that made a workaround. But low and behold, windows 10 made another update that throttled it again.

To anyone experiencing this issue you can fix this by doing the following:

 

-Control-alt delete 

-Open task manager

-Go to services

-Right-click on cryptsvc and click stop

-Open registry editor by searching for it in windows 

-Go to HKEY_Current_users>Software>Microsoft>SystemCertificats>Root

-Right click on Root, click permissions

-Check the Full control box on all users (you, administrator, etc) 

-Once you have full control, right click on root and Delete the whole directory

-Reboot your PC, it will automatically create a fresh Root Directory

-Try Chrome Now and it will at normal speed again

 

Personally I believe this is out of line, as its obviously intentional.

Why use a browser that breaks sites (I know this from experience as a now former firefox user).

If it does, sites are badly made. Or their devs have sold their souls to MS and Google.
