A couple weeks ago my Chrome started closing for no apparent reason. There is no crash message or anything, it just closes in a random amount of time within 10 seconds of being opened.

I've checked the Chrome logs, and the non-verbose version has nothing while the verbose version has a lot of stuff that looks unrelated. 

I've tried:

  • Launching Chrome with every "disable" command line argument

  • Launching Chrome with Windows in Safe Mode w/ Networking

  • Running Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware (which found nothing)

  • Running Chromium instead (same behavior)

  • Uninstalling/reinstalling including removing browsing data and manually deleting Chrome's data directory, and using Revo Uninstaller

  • Multiple system reboots

  • Checked for Windows updates applied when issue started but there was nothing recent

  • Checked Task Manager to see if there was any job that might be shutting it down, didn't see anything that would

  • Starting Chrome after renaming the executable per this thread on Superuser.com: Something is closing Chrome

I'm on the Windows 10 Pro 1803 build (OS build 17134.885.) There is a newer build of Win10 but Windows Update says it's not ready for my PC yet so not sure if that would help.

The only other thing I can think of to do is try downloading the Chromium source and running in debug mode, but I figured I'd ask here first.

Does anyone know what could be wrong?

You can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue using the "New issue" link on the same page.
Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.

You can reply with a link to the found or created issue and might get triaged (and fixed) faster.

Thank you.
