Fix Google Chrome crash problem after update

google-chrome I have almost migrated to Google Chrome browser. For last 2-3 months I am using it as default browser, as of now it has got a lot of useful extensions which add many new features while browsing. While I updated it from previous older version to new one, it started reacting as I had done something wrong to it!

Report like “ Chrome stopped Working “ became an usual on my PC. After few minutes of browsing, it suddenly crash and restart. In such situation the flow of work get disturbed. Not only this for some sites like orkut and twitter, while opening them blank or some coded page  was appearing. Neither cleaning browsing data nor reinstallation helped.
But fortunately yesterday I got a working solution which is quite easy, lets start with solution:

Ist Solution to the problem:

1. Close Google Chrome browser, then.
2. For Windows XP, copy & paste this address in the address bar of Windows explorer and hit Enter :
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\
and for Windows 7/Vista copy-paste this address in address bar and hit enter:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\
google chrome
3. Now Delete the “ Local State “ file permanently.
4. Start chrome and see whether it is working properly.

IInd Solution to the problem:


1. Click on the Google Chrome shortcut.
2. In Target field add "-no-sandbox” or “-in-process-plugins”.
3. Click Apply and Try starting Chrome again.


If even this is not working in your case, then may its an issue with one of the windows file named as “winhttp.dll”. Then try this

IIIrd Solution to the problem:

1. Click on the Google Chrome shortcut.
2. In Target field add “-new-http
3. Click Apply and Try starting Chrome again..

Hope this will definitely help you, if you have any problem then leave comments below.

    user data folder contains user's profile info.
    If you are facing the problem again then delete "Local State" file in user data folder...this can also solve your problem. This process will not uninstall the existing extensions.

    Sometimes changing compatibility mode to Windows Vista also works fine. This is the case with few users who reported this tweak is working. Hope this will also work for you. And before changing compatibility, don't forget to remove others tweaks(above), which you did earlier.
