Google Chrome problems and solutions

In most cases, resetting Chrome browser settings to default may help you, but if it does not, see these solutions for specific Chrome problems.

1] Touch Screen Not Working when using Chrome

For some tablet users, following an upgrade to Windows 10, the touchscreen stopped functioning in Chrome. It works fine in the Windows stock browser, but the problem persists with Chrome in Windows 10. Pretty odd, since, touch screen works well for the first week or so after upgrading to Windows 10, but fails to respond a few days later. To solve this problem, Go to the chrome://flags page Search for Enable Touch Events flag. Select Enable from the drop-down list. Restart Chrome.

2] Chrome does not start, after Windows 10 Upgrade

The primary cause for this problem are files that are not removed during the upgrade or re-installation. So, in the first place, uninstall Chrome and then remove all the residual junk using any free junk cleaner utility like CCleaner and install Google Chrome again. TIP: Chrome Connectivity Diagnostics Plugin from Google can help you test your Network Connection.

3] Google Chrome running slow

If Chrome browser is running slow for you, disable Hardware Acceleration and see if it helps. Disabling the Hardware Acceleration feature may improve the situation. Here is how to disable Hardware Acceleration on Chrome: Go to Settings. Click Show Advanced Settings. Under System, clear “Use hardware acceleration when available”. Restart Chrome.

4] Font changes in Chrome after upgrading to Windows 10

If strange fonts start appearing on webpages following Windows 10 upgrade, try this! Go to the chrome://flags page. Enable the Disable DirectWrite flag.

Restart Chrome. See this post if Google Chrome is Freezing or Crashing, and this one if you often see a Aw, Snap! error message in Google Chrome browser.
