Google Chrome has been the darling of Internet users ever since the first version got rolled out way back in 2008.
It quickly carved out a niche in the earlier days and today it leads all of its contemporaries by some distance, all courtesy the abundance of features packed in it.
However, Chrome also suffers from slight issues occasionally. One of the more notorious ones is the tabs freezing issue, which occurs more frequently on systems that are running Windows 10. Here are some solutions to help you out.
As we continue to use our computer, various kind of junk keeps on piling up in the browser as well as the system. Once this junk data reaches a magnitude of bigger sorts, it starts affecting the computer’s performance in general. And the same holds true for Google Chrome. Use an effective system cleaner to perform a massive cleanup operation whenever you feel like, at a single click! And the results will be surprisingly pleasant, to say the least.
Extensions are add-ons that help to add extra features to your browser. However, a poorly coded extension is all what is needed to wreck havoc in your browser. Get rid of them at once.
Some extensions in the browser cause a conflict with either operating system or any Chrome built-in plugins. Remove all such extensions for a more stable browser experience.
Type in chrome://conflicts in the address bar and press Enter to open up the Modules loaded into Google Chrome window. If any conflict is detected, it will contain the reasoning written out in red text.
If the conflicting module is an app, you can remove it from the Control Panel. If the problematic module turns out to be an extension, you can easily get rid of it as described in the last solution.
Recent changes made in the browser can also signal trouble. Getting rid of them can help undo any damage. Therefore, reset Chrome to it’s default state and forget any issues as far as freezing tabs or Google Chrome freezing as a whole is concerned.
Sometimes, there are niggling issues with the latest version of the software and a more safe approach is to stick with the previous version. Since Chrome has already been updated on your system, uninstall it and switchover to the previous version from either Softpedia or Filehippo.
Sometimes, the program in question develops a fault and the easiest way to rectify that is to simply uninstall and then reinstall the program (Chrome in this case). Uninstall it from the Uninstall a program area of Control Panel. Now simply download a fresh copy of the setup file and then execute it to install Google Chrome anew on your computer system.
Another neat hack to get rid of Chrome freezes in Windows 10 is to simply use the no sandbox command.
Web Services can also lead to freezing of Google Chrome. To disable them, here is what you need to do.
Another solution to fixing the Chrome freezing issue is to clear browsing data such as cached images and files. Here is how to do so:
Since Disk cleaners aren’t able to find Chrome’s cache files, that’s why manually clear them is a must.
Once Windows 10 update KB3150513 has been installed on a system, a wide variety of programs such as Outlook 2016, OneNote 2016, Team Viewer and Malwarebytes are known to be affected by performance dropouts or simply crash at all. Also, in some cases the keyboard stops responding completely and the users have trouble signing in with their normal profile. These severe issues mean that this update must be uninstalled at once!
