Before shutting down the system did routine updates. I came back to the computer later in the day and Chrome wouldn't work. The message said to remove and then add the Chrome app from/to the Firewall. Still wouldn't work. I uninstalled Chrome, went to Google website and began downloading Chrome. New message appeared: "Whitelist GoogleUpdate.exe" on the Firewall. Forget it, who knows how to do that. Looks like I'm not alone; quick search and several others going through same thing with no solution. Bottom line--I've lost Chrome and am forced to use Microsoft Edge. I don't get it.    Posted:   Oct 14, 2016 - 6:43 PM     By:   Alexander Zambra   (Member) After going about one week trying to fix issue gave up. Settled for Firefox and seems to be compatible. Really hate Windows 10, but PC was upgraded by someone else.    Posted:   Oct 14, 2016 - 8:00 PM     By:   Christopher Kinsinger   (Member) Jefferson, you red-headed tombstone…it's time for you to call GEEK SQUAD! 1-800-433-5778!!!    Posted:   Oct 15, 2016 - 4:43 AM     By:   Graham Watt   (Member) Everything went wonky here too. I had no choice but to click on a download jobby that I didn't want - if I hadn't done so, I'd still be trying to get out of the maze. Now everything's totally different from before. It takes me an hour to get to any page, having to search through all the site options each time. I don't understand anything about anything. Goodbye.    Posted:   Oct 15, 2016 - 4:54 AM     By:   leagolfer   (Member) I heard some things on windows 10 with Google chrome was frying some computers out that was in the united kingdom though yours is a different flaw/issue, Windows 10 Google chrome is crap I used it on a golf game and it was total lag. Maxthon is suppose to be good I use it for my golf game now there isn't any issues.    Posted:   Oct 15, 2016 - 5:05 PM     By:   Howard L   (Member) Jefferson, you red-headed tombstone…it's time for you to call GEEK SQUAD! 1-800-433-5778!!! Why I oughta...but I did the next best thing, talked to a couple computer nerd friends and one suggested I change the date on my machine to a few days ago. The idea is that whatever I had then will come up, although any saved files between the date and today would be lost. Sounded too much like time travel and it made me nervous. The only lasting problem now is that I lost all my favorites attached to Chrome that I hadn't exported to Edge. There was no need, how was I to know about all this?! Anyway, I checked a few forums (fora?) and it looks like Microsoft has taken away the ability to change the date, too. This is all so Big Brother. Yeesh.    Posted:   Oct 17, 2016 - 11:55 AM     By:   Ado   (Member) Yeah, I had some of the same issues, I got Chrome Canary to work though. That is a next generation version of Chrome    Posted:   Oct 17, 2016 - 2:13 PM     By:   Howard L   (Member) I saw several references to Chrome Canary and just may give it a try. Let's see if the force field can be broken!    Posted:   Oct 17, 2016 - 3:50 PM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) I have been mostly using Firefox after Chrome started acting like a total memory hog lately. Though they did say Chrome was coming out with a new update shortly that might fix its memory issues.    Posted:   Oct 17, 2016 - 4:00 PM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) In my scope of viewing online and people offline, the majority hate Windows 10. It's so user-unfreindly, ugly, and problamatic, people have downgraded to previous versions of Windows. The local city agencies downgraded as well. I had the displeasure of working with Windows 10 trying to fix a friend's computer and adjust all the crappy settings it comes with, including invasive privacy settings, and Windows 10 is plain Godawful. What a horrible, horrible, horrible Windows version. I also experienced another Godaful program, the new Internet Explorer version, Edge. Designed I think, to just piss people off and make things hard to impossible to find or deal with. More than once I had to inform my friend of new disappointments with the two, from there is no longer a Favorites for IE or that the Windows 10 did away with the address book, so I wasn't able to put it on the new computer for him to access. Surprise! It seems they're trying to bridge the gap between uninformed computer-ignorant iPhone users to non-phone/iPadd computers. If this is what newbies want, fuck me with a wet noodle.    Posted:   Oct 17, 2016 - 4:19 PM     By:   Ray Faiola   (Member) I was dragged kicking and screaming to Windows 7 and I'm not leaving. And I wouldn't go anywhere NEAR Google Chrome.    Posted:   Oct 17, 2016 - 5:12 PM     By:   Greg Phillips   (Member) I would recommend you give Vivaldi a go - I've been using it for about 6 months now and much prefer it to Chrome. Chrome just kept crashing. Vivaldi is from the folks who created Opera, which I never used, I'm finding it very stable and customizable.    Posted:   Oct 18, 2016 - 8:33 AM     By:   Howard L   (Member) I don't get it. Never had problems with Chrome. No crashing, no slowdowns, no nothing.. The only problem I've had is that an insidious Microsoft update evidently has barred me from using Chrome and forced me into using their Edge. Chrome, Firefox, Mozilla, whatever--the issue is not preference of browser. It's forced use of a browser and forced disuse of another by a competitor who can get away with it. No advance warning, no choice. I'm not sure which one steams me up more right now.    Posted:   Oct 18, 2016 - 1:54 PM     By:   Greg Phillips   (Member) Don't understand that. I'm using Vivaldi & occasionally Chrome both on Windows 10 - even after the anniversary update - which I admit was a pain to download and integrate!    Posted:   Oct 18, 2016 - 2:53 PM     By:   Adm Naismith   (Member) I avoid Chrome- Even in Private Browsing mode, it remembers all sorts of stuff about you and your browsing session. It's a lie, basically. I recommend Firefox- private browsing that is truly private. Or better yet, Cyberfox- Firefox source code recompiled for true 64-bit operation (and even more serious about your privacy). I've used Firefox and then Cyberfox for years now and I don't ever recall any kind of problem with it.    Posted:   Oct 19, 2016 - 9:56 AM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) I would recommend you give Vivaldi a go - I've been using it for about 6 months now and much prefer it to Chrome. Chrome just kept crashing. Vivaldi is from the folks who created Opera, which I never used, I'm finding it very stable and customizable. I'm tempted but until they have a lastpass plugin for Vivaldi I won't be messing with it.    Posted:   Oct 23, 2016 - 10:24 AM     By:   Howard L   (Member) I saw several references to Chrome Canary and just may give it a try. Let's see if the force field can be broken! Nope. Still get message to "Whitelist GoogleUpdate.exe" to firewall. Judging from online search, no one can do that.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Windows 10 and Google Chrome    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
