This is only a medium-sized nuisance (it takes about 3-4 minutes to restart) but I'd like at least to understand it. I haven't looked at this with Process Explorer yet. I plan to ask about that in a separate thread, but it might be relevant here. If I check processes running in the background, using Task Manager, I get 100+ items, about 1-3% CPU usage, about 27% memory usage (of 16 GB!) and at least a half dozen entries for Google Chrome. Īfter a restart I usually get a notification from WinPatrol that Chrome wants to load something at startup - it's a long complex command line and I'm afraid I didn't note it down. This has been going on for some time - it was already happening in Version 1803, then 1809, and now after the recent upgrade to 1903 on. Restarting seems the only way to get it back. When it won't load, it won't load, no matter how often I try or by what route. I don't get the 'You' screen again until next time I have to restart. I can usually then go on using Chrome for several days until this problem recurs - but today for example I've already had to restart twice. How to make your web browser open on startup on Windows 10 This tutorial will show you step by step how to make Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Brave, or another web browser open on startup on Windows 10. Clicking on that then launches Chrome (it usually says it didn't close properly, do I want to reload whatever page I had been using before). When I do that, and then try to launch Chrome for the first time after restart, I first get a smallish window with 'You' in the middle. The only way to get Chrome back is to restart the computer. Trying to launch Chrome from the main Windows menu has the same result. Every once in a while it will not load when I click the icon in the taskbar - the little spinning circle shows for a second or two and then nothing happens.

Problem: I use Google Chrome as primary browser. Go to the On startup section and it will be set to Open a specific page or set of pages.
