Chrome locking up after windows reboot

Nodakskip · February 17, 2020

Not sure if this is the right place, but here goes.

I have a windows 10 desktop, I use google chrome as my browser. Used to be if I had to reboot windows, then I could just reopen chrome and my tabs would reopen. As of a month ago anytime I do a reboot (if chrome is open or not) I try to open chrome after the reboot and it locks up. It shows the google search screen locks up. It shows two message 1. Asking if I want to restore my last session. 2. That Flash will be finished in December 2020.

I have to go into task manager and it shows I somehow have up to 18 tabs open when none are, and I have to 'end task' it. I try several more times and the same thing happens. Only about 10 minutes or so after I can open chrome and it works again. I do not see anything in a virus scan or a malware scan.

Sounds like it might be trying to load a restore session (or whatever the technical name for it is)... When you first open chrome, goto Task Manager > Details and close all instances... Then once they are all closed, try to open Chrome again... If it works,then close Chrome, and restart again to get out of the restore cycle.

(Not sure if this will fix, but worth a shot)
