Google Chrome Didn't Shut Down Correctly[edit]

In Windows 8, Google Chrome displays the message it did not shut down correctly when opening it. The reason for this is that it continues running in the background after it has been closed and when Windows 8 is shutdown, Google Chrome does not have enough time to properly close.

Solution

Open Google Chrome's Settings
Click Show Advanced Settings
Under System, uncheck Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed

No sound from YouTube[edit]

When viewing flash player videos from YouTube and/or similar sites, no sound can be heard. To fix this issue follow these steps:

In a new tab, go to chrome://plugins/
Click on +Details
Scroll down until you see Flash
Disable all the flash player plugins, except the one with Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_3_300_268.dll
Restart Chrome

Spell checker not working[edit]

Spell checker does not underline incorrect spellings of words in Google Chrome. To fix this issue, follow these steps:

Open Google chrome and go to the Settings
Click Show advanced settings...
Under Privacy uncheck Use a web service to help resolve spelling errors
Restart Chrome

YouTube autoplay/large player sometimes not working[edit]

For no odd reason the autoplay (Such as a playlist) and large player doesn't work. Changing quality, as well as fullscreen does work.

No currently known solutions

Google Chrome Slowing Down[edit]

The most common reason for this would be because you have too many plugins and/or extensions running and occasionally from too much browsing history.

Disabling Plugins

Navigate to chrome://plugins
Click "Disable" on any plugins you don't need.

Disable Extensions

If your extensions are on your Chrome address bar, right-click them and select "Disable".
You can also disable them from a "New Tab Page" using the same method.
Alternatively, if you click the Settings (wrench) button, and go to Tools > Extensions, you can disable them from here too.
