Issues

Google Chrome Didn't Shut Down Correctly

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

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

No sound from YouTube

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

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

No currently known solutions

Google Chrome Slowing Down

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

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

Disable Extensions

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