Chrome consistently hangs on startup for 2 minutes

I have all extensions and hardware acceleration disabled, to no avail.
It's annoying and gets in the way of my workflow.


also edge sucks

I was also experiencing the same issue and decided to ditch chrome once and for all, currently using edge and firefox both and loving them!

ramencupofjoy,

1. Wonderful name. Dank.

2. Can you specify, do you mean that it hangs when YOU open it, or when the OS opens it on start-up?

 

(You open it)

Well, this is just one of those things that can become annoying really quickly, so you could use another browser, if you wanted, like Edge, or Opera, but yeah, more RAM and a faster storage solution would be the only way to help it, not fix though.

 

(OS Opens it at start-up)

Remove it from the start-up menu, by right clicking on the task bar at the bottom, Start Task Manager, going into the Start-up tab, then clicking on Google Chrome and pressing disable at the bottom. After this, a re-boot might be necessary (it won't prompt you)

 

Another possibility, could be you have either a virus (run a scan and see what happens) or a piece of malware has changed some of the settings in Google Chrome, so they could have changed the Start-up options or changed the Search engine, Just reset these to what they should be and see what happens,

No viruses, I've done scans with Malwarebytes and Windows Defender. Search engine never changed, either.
