So you uninstalled and then reinstalled Chrome but the issue happened again.

 

Couple of things of note, you run CCeaner and download torrents.

 

You seem to be missing Windows 8.1 and Defender updates.

 

Couple of questions;

 

Have you been using the CCleaner registry cleaner.

 

What drive do you have Chrome installed on.

 

From MTB log;

 

26-10-2021 17:30:38 Driver Booster : Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller

26-10-2021 17:43:41 Installed Asmedia USB Host Controller Driver.

26-10-2021 20:02:26 Removed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010  x86 Redistributable - 10.0.40219

26-10-2021 20:02:56 Removed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010  x64 Redistributable - 10.0.40219

 

 

 

Does the issue first happening correspond to one or more of the above changes.

 

Why was Microsoft Visual C++ removed, it is an important part of Windows.

 

 

The torrents thing Zep may comment on, malware perspective etc

[Advertisements]

About CCleaner yes I used it after wondering if any registry errors were causing the problem.

 

Chrome is on the C drive.

 

The drivers were installed after the problem began, they needed updating.

 

The Visual C++ was removed as I thought it was leftover from an app removed ages ago.

 

Thanks

The Visual C++ was removed as I thought it was leftover from an app removed ages ago.

 

 

But did you already have the issue with Chrome or did it start after your removed the above.

 

Have a suggestion but it will be no good if important Windows files have been removed.

[northwalian1]

The issue with Chrome began before removing Visual C++

[phillpower2]

You can try a clean boot then "how to" here

 

With the exception of Chrome disable all third party programs.

 

The idea is to re enable one or two of the stopped third party items at a time to see if you can identify a particular program that then causes Chrome problems.

[northwalian1]

There were three Google entries enabled but it crashed again

 

[phillpower2]

The logical thing to do now is to also disable those three Google entries, enable Firefox, restart the computer, use Firefox instead of Chrome and see if the computer still crashes.

[northwalian1]

No need to do that as Firefox works fine with normal boot.

 

Do you think one of the PC refresh options would be worth a try?

[phillpower2]

Up to you what you try as it is your PC but we had no way of knowing the above.

 

The issue could be between Chrome and FF so have you tried uninstalling FF to see if Chrome still misbehaves.

 

Have you tried any other browsers such as Edge or Opera.

 

As said your PC to do with as you see fit but in case you are not aware depending on the option you choose all third party apps can be removed when Windows gets reinstalled, the fact that FF does not crash the PC suggests that it is not a Windows issue so why go to the trouble of reinstalling everything if you do not have to.

[northwalian1]

The reason I started using Firefox was when Chrome stopped working.

 

Thanks for the help 

[phillpower2]

Can you post a new MTB log for us.

 

There was no Chrome related crash in your MTB log yesterday which I suspect was because you had gotten rid if the Beta version of Chrome.

No problems with Chrome now but still the same AI Suite, CCleaner and Windows BITS errors, the latter being the only one that can be affecting your Internet connection is what needs to be checked.

 

Download then run the Windows All in One Repair tool from here, disregard the malware guidance but follow the other steps to the letter and in particular ensuring that you first create a new restore point and perform a proper Windows clean boot before running the repair, details for the clean boot here.

 

Edit to add: If the AIO tool does not sort the issue we will have to use AutoRuns to check for any orphaned AV files that could be upsetting the applecart.

No problem Joe, we will hopefully crack it between the three of us
