Why won't my google chrome open?

[327]

Every time I try to open up google chrome , an error message pops up that says :

chrome.exe- Application Error
this application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close the application


does anyone know how to fix this?

[Hii]

try refreshing it or re starting your computer.

If you faced “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005).Click on OK to terminate the application.” error with google chrome (chrome.exe) and you are using symantec, then you could try the following steps:

* Back up the registry on an affected system
* Open the registry on the Agent system by entering regedit from a run prompt
* Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SysPlant
* Open the Start DWORD
* Change the value to 4 to disable the drivers
* Reboot the system to commit the changes

The above registry solution to fix the Google chrome error was issued in symantec forums.Read it here.



The other easier solution is to run Google Chrome with --no-sandbox (with two dashes before “no”). To run it with the above option, edit the property of the shortcut you use to launch Google chrome and add the above option at the end of the “target” line (after the path to the chrome exe) i.e. Right click your shortcut to “Google Chrome” and click Properties. In the target text field, add a space then add --no-sandbox (with two dashes before “no”) right after the ending quotation mark. Run using this shortcut.However make sure that there is a space in between the ending quotation mark and the --no-sandbox option that you add.You could find a shortcut to google chrome on your desktop.Also note that you should use two dashes before “no”.See the pic. below.

You are in effect loosing the sandbox effect of Google Chrome.
What is sandboxing in Google chrome?

Sandboxing is a special feature in Google chrome, to prevent malware from installing itself onto computer/PC.It also prevents what happens in one tab from affecting the other tabs i.e each tab runs as a seperate process and for each of these processes, all the rights have been stripped.

Close any other background instances of chrome using task manager. Then try running it again

If your google crome not open then unstall that and re stalled it.

Reinstall it.

May be your Chrome software is corrupt so you can download it again and checkout.
