Google Chrome refusing to open pages in Windows 10 - google-chrome

I'm running Google Chrome on Windows 10, latest editions. Chrome refuses to open any pages, returning "Aw snap" error messages. To resolve this I've:
Removed all extensions.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome.
Tried Chrome on a different user.
Ran Chrome Cleanup Tool.
Deleted my Google folder in Appdata.
Incognito pages don't work either.
None of these worked. Firefox at all times is working perfectly so its not an internet problem.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Please follow below steps, to resolve "Aw snap" error messages with Chrome browser.
Steps To Resolve:
Go to Chrome shortcut in the Desktop (If not exists create one)
Right click -> Properties
In the target field, At the end add a space followed by the below -no-sandbox
Apply-Ok
Launch chrome using the shortcut

Follow the below steps
Go to windows task manager
go to details tab
kill all the chrome process
run the chrome it will open

It is likely that malware is trying (and failing) to modify the page that is loading. I've also seen this as a symptom of machines that had nasty redirect malware removed, as the redirects that the malware creates no longer have anywhere to resolve.
I highly recommend a fresh Windows 10 install, only way to be sure you're fully free of whatever may have infected your current Windows installation.

Chrome request not making it to server

I have a Windows 2016 Server with IIS 10.0.14393.0 installed that is maintained within an isolated VM environment. (The entire VM environment is isolated from the real-world.)
The web server is configured with three websites through IIS, and each website is assigned a dedicated IP. The contents in each of these websites is a single "hello world" html page that can be accessed via a browser from from my development workstation using Microsoft Edge, but I cannot access these pages using Chrome. The simple hello world html page was created only to assist in troubleshooting this issue.
The error received in Chrome is ERR_TIMED_OUT and based on the IIS logs, the request is never reaching the web server. IIS logs do indicate the request/reponse when accessing using Edge.
From my workstation, I can successfully ping the web server, traceroute output does not indicate any unexpected hops, etc. From all indications, the problem appears to be isolated to Chrome and only when accessing the sites on that server. I have other servers (W2016 and W2019) in the real-world with a similar configurations and real applications deployed there that work as expected with any browser.
I am using the latest Chrome Version 105.0.5195.102 (Official Build) (64-bit) and can access other web based content within this VM environment using Chrome, just not on that one server.
I am almost to the point of deleting that VM instance and starting over so any ideas/suggestions are appreciated.
The error received in Chrome is ERR_TIMED_OUT
This is a communication problem indication that there is a problem with the user's local network connection. It can appear when your internet is too slow or your connection is taking too long, or the page or website you are visiting may be too busy, or when the website in question is not set up correctly, or even if the website is trying to perform more than your server can manage.
I'm not sure if you've seen the following methods, but you can try.
Method 1: Browse in Incognito Mode and Remove Extensions.
You should first browse the website in incognito mode to check if you
can open the website normally, if so then the culprit of the
ERR_TIMED_OUT error may be your plugin or extension. Therefore, you
need to enable extensions one by one to check for errors, and if there
is an error enabling an extension, you need to remove it from your
browser.
Method 2: Delete the Default Chrome Folder
Press Win + R keys at the same time to open the Run
Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\ in the box and click OK.
Close your Chrome if it is opened.
A new window pops out, find the folder named Default. Backup the folder anywhere else, then right-click the folder to choose Delete.
After you have deleted the folder successfully, open your Chrome and
then visit the webpage again that you searched before to check if the
error still appears.
Method 3: Update Network Drivers
If your network driver is out of date, you may encounter ERR_TIMED_OUT
errors. Here's how to update network drivers.
Right-click the Start button to select Device Manager.
Scroll down to find Network Adapters and click on it to expand it.
Right-click on your network device and select Update Driver.
Select Search automatically for updated driver software option to start to search and update your network driver to a new version.
After that, restart your computer and open the sites again with Chrome
to see if you can open them.
Method 4: Disable Firewall & Antivirus Software
Sometimes, your firewall or antivirus software may cause trouble.
Therefore, you should try to disable them and check if the problem can
be solved. If you find it helpful to disable these programs, you can
check the firewall settings. Allow Chrome to connect to public or
private networks. If it doesn't work. Permanently delete these
programs, and then use other antivirus software or firewalls.
Method 5: Check Hosts File
When you meet the ERR_TIMED_OUT error accessing a specific website,
you can check the Hosts file to see if the website has been blocked.
Here is the way to do that:
Press Win + E keys at the same time to open File Explorer and then go to the Local Disk C: > Windows > System32 > Drivers > etc.
Open the host file with notepad. If you see the web address that you cannot visit, delete that entire line from the host file and save.
After that, open the Chrome and see if you can open the specific
website.
Method 6: Reinstall Chrome Browser
If none of the methods above fix the ERR_TIMED_OUT error, then you
should try reinstalling Chrome. Here is the tutorial:
Press Win + R keys at the same time to open the Run box, then type appwiz.cpl and click OK to open a new window.
Find Google Chrome in the list, and then right-click it to choose Uninstall.
After uninstalling Google Chrome successfully, you also need to delete its leftover files. Open the Run box again, then type %appdata%
and click OK to open a new window.
Find the Google folder and then right-click it to choose Delete.
Go to Google Chrome’s site to download the latest version of the browser, and then install it.
The above methods are from the web article. To avoid link being unavailable, I have also presented the details. I am not sure if the above methods can help you, but I hope you can solve the problem soon.

Google Chrome is crashing everytime I try to uninstall a Chrome app (not an extension)

I couldn't find the same problem anywhere. I'm trying to uninstall some Chrome apps (for instance, Helium), that appear below the extensions page. Everytime I click to uninstall any of them, Google pauses for 1-2sec and then crashes. After opening it again, they appear again. It's really annoying, because Chrome is crashing from time to time and I presume it's because some app incompatibility (I uninstalled most extensions already).
Any other way to uninstall a Chrome app? I tried to delete the folder in C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Web Applications but it still appears.
Still no success... Anyone?

Chrome Extension Installation Issues (No Page Action Icon & Failure to Automatically Update)

After spending a week or so trying to resolve these issues, I am unable to find any solutions.
I have successfully published my extension on Chrome's Webstore. The extension depends on a native application, so I bundled everything together and am using the Windows Registry to install my extension. Everything seems to work, except for two issues...
Just to clarify, when I load the unpackaged extension or download the extension from the webstore manually, everything works perfectly.
(My extension is a page action)
After installing the extension using the registry, Chrome successfully prompts the user to install the extension. After installing the extension, when the user navigates to a page that uses the extension, the content scripts and background script all run perfectly. However the page action icon does not appear. The user must access the page icon, so this is of vital importance.
When I publish an update for the extension, the user's browser does not update the extension version even after 24 hours. I am not sure if this is a function of installing the extension through the registry, but everything I've checked suggests this would not be the case.
While not unique to me, some users experience the page action icon disappearing after extended use of the extension. I have found this issue on the message boards, and I was under the impression it was resolved, but it seems to still be happening to select users. Any solutions and/or updates on resolving this issue?
Does anyone have any insight on the first two issues, or has anyone also experienced similar issues. If so, how did you go about resolving it?

Google Chrome returning 503 Service Unavailable

I have been having an issue lately with Google Chrome. Some sites, seems to be completely random, are returning a 503 Service Unavailable error message. The last one I received was from my hosting provider when trying to access my CPanel. I can access the same URL completely fine in Firefox or IE. It seems to be isolated to Chrome.
I have tried the following:
Disabled all extensions
Logged in/out of my Google account
Cleared all cache and history
So far, nothing seems to correct the issue. It's becoming more and more aggravating from what was once a pretty reliable browser.
I am running:
Windows 7
Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m
I was hitting the same issue. Mostly, it would occur on intranet sites at work, but it happened with a few exterior sites. Loading in IE Tab would work fine.
I was able to solve the issue by upgrading to 64-bit Chrome. I'm not sure why that fixed it, but I think it had something to do with a conflict between Java and Chrome (It looks like I have both 64bit and 32bit Java installed side-by-side).
My solution:
Uninstall Chrome with clear personal data option selected
Install Chrome again but without admin right (install for your personal
user)
Use Chrome as normal

Ripple emulator chrome plugin is taking long time to execute

I was using Ripple Chrome extension for test running my phonegap apps, and I did all settings for Ripple, like making a Chrome shortcut with --allow-file-access-from-files and in Chrome extension list checking "allow local file access" for Ripple.
On running my HTML file which I made for phonegap build, Chrome is taking a good time to deliver a response. Everything is working, the only issue is the delay on response.
I tried on another desktop, and there it is quiet and fast. I re-installed the extension and restarted Chrome and OS a couple of times to no effect.
For your information, I had similar issues when using Chrome. Make sure Chrome isn't running in the background when you close it. Since a few versions of Chrome, this is enabled by default. Check your taskbar to see if this is the case.
If Chrome is indeed running in the background, right-click on the chrome-icon in the taskbar and disable "running in background". This worked for me and now Ripple fires superfast.
You probably need to confirm your system spec. development workstations are known to be resource demanding, particularly the RAM, and processors. if your app was faster on another system, you might want to check that system's spec also and compare with yours.
