Google Chrome not working is a big problem
Like most people if I want to know something I “google it“. Also like most people I use Google Chrome as a browser. It is on both my computers – one is a Mac and the other is a PC with Windows 10. I also have Chrome on my IPAD. It came as a shock when on my Windows 10 laptop I was unable to Google. I could not open the Google Chrome browser. It has been working the previous day. I tried to reinstall Chrome on the laptop but it did not work.
Luckily I could still get into Chrome on the IPAD and the Mac where I could still Google so I googled to find out what the problem was. It was obviously connected to a PC problem with WIndows 10.
