    Latest Windows 7 Update Broke Chrome


    Apparently last nights update has broken Chrome. When I try to open the browser all I get is a blank white screen.


    Any suggestions?


    Edit: After rebooting in safe mode (without networking) Chrome came up with my standard homepage, bookmark toolbar, etc.

    Another reboot and Chrome seems to be working.

    Sometimes there is no explanation as to why these things happen, they just do. I am glad that everything is now working OK. Thank you for posting the solution, it will help other people visiting this thread that have the same problem/question.

    Hi,

    See here for another half dozen solutions: Re: Chrome suddenly opens to blank white screen It starts off slow, but after the OP admonishes Tina it picks up speed.
