The most common reason for Chrome crashes are:
- Corrupt profiles
- Conflicting modules
- Bad Extensions
- Outdated software
- Damaged files
Chrome actually let’s you keep browser specific settings such as themes and bookmarks separate for different Chrome users.
This is a Chrome thing and therefore has nothing to do with user accounts in Windows. For example, you can have one Windows user account but three Chrome profiles in that account for your Wife, Son, and Cat.
But sometimes Chrome profiles become awash in problems which eventually corrupts them. To work around the issue we need to rename the Windows folder that contains the profiles so Chrome can automatically create a new profile.
Click Start and enter this:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\
Inside this folder you’ll find a benign folder named Default.
Rename it to Backup Default then right click to cut the folder so you can paste it into the parent folder.
In other words, we need to move Backup Default to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome. This deft move tricks Chrome into create a new profile – so go ahead and surf the digital waves of the internet to see if Chrome feels stable now.
