Comment #11 on issue 125722 by
a...@andyknott.com: Chrome fails to launch.

Same here. Installed chrome and it worked fine for days - multiple
launches and sessions. Rebooted the laptop and chrome runs and quits with
no user interaction.
this is the debug.log

Copied chrome.exe to the 20.0.1132.47 directory and it worked fine.
Fix this please - what a rookie bug.
