If the above method in the video does not work, you may have to
change "chrome" to its "default" settings.
To change chrome to its default settings 'copy and paste' the line below into "Windows Explorers" search bar.
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
Then rename the "Default" folder to "DefaultOld"
If you're still having problems uninstall chrome and remove any left-over files. Then download the latest version of chrome and re-install. Use "Internet explorer" in the meantime.

If the Icon changes, delete the old one. Then create a new one.

***** The icon on your desktop. You can create a new one by either going into 'my programs' through startmenu. Right click on 'google chrome' - then send to 'Desktop'. Another way would be clicking start menu then search 'google' then doing the same right click - send to - desktop (create shortcut) '

H4WX3R After using your method (it helped me solve my problem about the settings not opening) but now everytime I turn on my pc I have to create a new shortcut cause the one I created says it can't be found. Any way to solve this?

@richales8735
@richales8735 8 лет назад
+H4WX3R A better way is to right click on the "white page" icon and hit delete. It will then tell you how to uninstall Chrome. Once Chrome is uninstalled, you can download a new one many different ways. I used the message from Google itself when it asked me why I was uninstalling it. You can also just go through Explorer and Google how to install Chrome. It's all a major pain in the ass, like most things involving computers, but once it's re-installed, you'll find that all of your original bookmarks & other settings are still in place. The above video was completely useless in this regard.

A question to ask ? The problem I have has been since the past week now, Chrome will not open after I close it unless I reboot my PC then I can open it. Then close it again and same thing !! Does this fix apply to this particular problem I'm having ?

@GLXY_1000
@GLXY_1000 5 лет назад
Your welcome. I'm glad that you got it working again. I don't know for sure what caused it, but it seems that it got corrupted some how. I'm guessing it may have to do with an update, malware/virus, a program/service that is running and blocking it or something else. I have 2 videos that I recommend you watch. 1. How To Speed Up And Optimize Your PC ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CaXQbi5aIx8.html 2.

This is a great fix for a problem that Google Search finds no solutions. A short version for Win 7 is to delete the Chrome shortcut, find the Chrome exe file and add a period e.g. "Chrome..exe". Now create a shortcut of that Chrome exe file and drag it to the desktop.
@Fishcreekpark
@Fishcreekpark 9 лет назад
Thanks very much for pointing out there was another period added to make it work.
@ranieljakecezar4733
