Question

Why does my chrome keep crashing?

Sep 17, 2015 3:02PM PDT

Everytime I open it, it closes after 5 seconds and says "Google Chrome has crashed. Relaunch again?" To which it crashes again after 5 seconds after I open it. I haven't been able to open Chrome in months. Anyone have an idea what's causing it

Answer
Well what's happening is because of all the attacks

using Flash, Java and Silverlight technologies Google is blocking these technologies. Edge browser was created to be compatible with websites that have stopped using these technologies and use the more secure HTML5 on their websites. We are experiencing these changes at my work. Our project mgmt software uses Silverlight and Chrome kept giving us messages that SL support would be ending soon Well the last 2 weeks the software won't run in Chrome.
