WebGL Unavailable, GPU Process Launch Failed

[Shonah]

Hi There, 

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this post. I'm not a hugely tech-savvy person and I'm not working on an app/extension. I was told on Chromes Forums to ask my question here, so here I am. 

I am running chrome 54.0.2840.87 on Windows 10. I have two GPUs: an Intel(R) HD Graphics 520, and a AMD Radeon R5 M335. Up until a couple of weeks ago, WebGL was running just fine in chrome. Now, after not having changed any settings anywhere, WebGL is no longer available. When trying to run a chrome experiment for example, I get a message saying that my graphics card does not seem to support WebGL. I know my graphics cards work fine (they have been updated with the latest drivers), plus WebGL runs perfectly in firefox. I know my GPUs have not been blacklisted (on either browser). On chrome:gpu, I am told that WebGL is unavailable, and that the GPU process was unable to boot. When checking chrome:flags enabling or disabling webGL no longer seems to be an option. Enabling/disabling anything else that involves WebGL has not made any difference. Is there something else that can be done to get it working again? At what level is the issue? (The issue persists on Chrome Canary.) I am attaching screenshots of what I see on my chrome:gpu page. 

Thanks,

Hello Shonah,

Have you tried this:

1) Write chrome://settings on omnibox

2) Click "Show advanced settings" 

3) Confirm that "Use hardware acceleration when available" is enable.

4) Restart Chrome.
