Hello, since this morning I've been having a lot of freezing issues with Google Chrome, especially when I open a new window or on YouTube for example.
I don’t think the problem comes from my PC since I have a fairly good setup and my other applications are working perfectly.
I've already checked the task manager of Google Chrome, which shows me very few processes since I only use AdBlock, and my task manager indicates a number in parentheses next to the application that generally varies between 8 and 14 and is using a lot of my CPU.
A funny little thing, when my Chrome task manager is open and in the foreground, I have no freezing when I scroll, while otherwise I do.

PS: This is a repost, I don’t know if that’s allowed but I was having issues accessing my previous post.

    Try restarting your computer. If the problem persists, uninstall and reinstall Google Chrome.
    Otherwise, switch to a different browser!

    Hello.

    Try to fix it with RejetBrowser

    https://nicolascoolman.eu

    If the repair is not possible, the software will reinstall it by itself without losing passwords or bookmarks.

    See you later . . .

      I thought it had worked at the time, but unfortunately the problems reappeared.

    Hello,

    Uninstall Google Chrome and reinstall it properly.

    Press Windows + R
    Type --> control panel and OK

    File Explorer Options
    View tab
    Check --> show hidden files, folders, and drives
    Apply and OK.

    Then, Programs and Features
    Uninstall --> Google Chrome
    During the uninstallation, you will be prompted to remove all files related to your profile, check the box and accept.
    Restart the PC.

    Go delete the Google folder in these 2 directories:
    Press Windows + E
    --> C:\users\your username\AppData\Local
    --> C:\Program Files and/or Program Files (x86)

    Delete the Google Chrome shortcuts on the desktop.

    Reinstall the desired version:
    --> Google Chrome 64 bits
    --> Google Chrome 32 bits

      I tried to follow your steps, but I couldn't delete the Google folder from Program Files (x86); it said that some items in the folder were in use, even though everything else had been uninstalled.

    Open Task Manager
    Processes tab
    End task everything related to Google Chrome

    If that doesn't work:
    Go delete it in safe mode.

      I just did it, I successfully deleted everything this time but unfortunately it didn't fix the problem, a friend told me he had a similar issue that resolved itself after a Windows 10 update, maybe all I have left to do is wait.

    Hello.

    >>> especially when I open a new window or on YouTube for example. <<<

    TO TRY >>>
    On "customize" Chrome go to > settings > advanced settings > system > UNCHECK "Use hardware acceleration when available"

      I don't think it makes any difference.
