Canary crashing after last update

[Wolf War]

latest Canary update (from October 08) is crashing browser instantly after start

does anyone else experiencing this?

I also tried fresh install, deleting profile folder, with the same result

If you enable logging, do you see anything in the log?

I see a lot of things (81 line)

I don't want to spam with the whole log, here are some of the "suspicious" lines 

...............

​like I wrote, problems started yesterday after update​ (not possible to start it again)

[Wolf War]

actually, there is another file called debug.log (not chrome_debug.log) in application folder

it's full of errors and warnings

[PhistucK]

Can you post the last few lines?

[Wolf War]

sure

this is from debug.log (C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome SxS\Application)

Hopefully, the next version fixes this. What is the latest Chrome canary version on your machine (you can look it up by looking at the same Application folder in which you found the log, every version has its own folder)?

According to https://omahaproxy.appspot.com/, it looks like 56.0.2886.1 is the latest. Do you have a folder with that name?

[Wolf War]

no

my version is 56.0.2884.0

it's not updated probably because it cant start in the first place

I'll try to do fresh install again

[Wolf War]

I downloaded latest canary installer from official google page and it's 56.0.2885.0 version

still no luck in starting it, instant crash

btw I see from your link that next version 56.0.2886.1 is gonna be SyzyASan,

By the way, updates happen in the background. Chrome does not need to run (unless you disabled automatic updates somehow). Google Update checks, downloads and runs the installation in the background.

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.

There was a never-ending thread on crbug.com/654193 later merged into crbug.com/654213

The good news is that it has been fixed.

Yes - same here - I get a brief flash on screen as if it is about to launch and then nothing - assume it's crashing.

Tried rebooting to no avail.

Can't see anything new in log - must be crashing before it gets a chance to log the problem

[Wolf War]

​it's been fixed

Have you update Canary to latest version?

(maybe auto update doesn't work because of your firewall, etc)​

Hurrah - magically working again after background update ran automatically.
