Nowadays, more and more users prefer to use Google's browser. Despite the fact that many system administrators call it one of the most insecure browsers, it remains the fastest and most functional. And given the fact that many Internet services and Android-based devices require a Google account, then using Chrome becomes a necessity. So what to do if the Google Chrome installed on your personal computer does not work?

Easier nowhere

The cause of a malfunction is not always as complicated as you might think. Sometimes, problems may lie on the surface, but we may not notice them. The most common problem is the lack of internet connection. Imagine you sit down to work on a laptop, try to open a browser and Google Chrome does not work. Panic, trying to find the problem... Check the connection first. If you are using USB modems, check the connection in the lower right corner of the screen. The connection icon should be "steps". If it has an exclamation mark on it, then you have some kind of problem connecting to the Internet. There are several root causes for this problem.

Software problems

The presence of a virus. First of all, if Google Chrome does not work, check your computer for viruses. Some of them are able to block access or, at least, slow down its work very much. If you don't have an antivirus, there's one more thing you can do before you get it (from friends or acquaintances). The fact is that some programs may conflict, causing the Internet (or the browser in particular) to fail. Try to remember if you recently installed any programs, especially those that work with the Internet. For example, skype, hamachi, torrent. If so, try uninstalling the freshly installed software and restarting your computer. If it helped, but you still need this program, then you have three ways - checking with an antivirus, downloading the distribution kit from another source and reinstalling the system as a whole, or rolling it back with cleaning the registry.

Technical malfunction

Check all indicators on your modem and compare their values ​​with the instructions. If you are not connected and Google Chrome is not working, then there may be some mechanical failure somewhere in the "user-Internet" path. In any case, if you are not a professional or at least an experienced user, you will not be able to fix them yourself.

1. Call your internet service provider. Perhaps they have technical work or work on the line.
2. If you are using mobile Internet, then when checking the indicator, make sure that the modem is not discharged. Try to start the Internet with it on another computer, the malfunction may be in the modem itself.
3. In addition, you can download the Modem Doctor program to check the modem for errors. In total, it conducts up to 60 tests and allows you to work with modems connected to any ports.

Browser issue

The last and most unpleasant reason why Google does not work may lie in the browser itself. In particular, in the user profile settings. Why is this one of the most dangerous situations if Google Chrome does not work? What if you are an advanced user and you need a Google account and all the bookmarks stored in the browser? The fact is that the solution to the problem lies in the partial or complete removal of user settings. How it's done?

1. Delete temporary files, cookies, in your browser settings. Restart it and check if it works.
2. If the previous option did not help, try reinstalling the browser.
3. You can take a chance and disable browser protection by right-clicking on the shortcut. Choose properties - shortcut. And write something like the following in the path to the executable file ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application"--no-sandbox".
4. The last option would be to delete your custom settings. You need to find the User Data\Default\ folder and delete the folder with your settings from there.

We hope these tips will help you in treating your personal computer if Google Chrome does not work. Good luck!
