The hamburger icon on the upper right, click on it then scroll down to help then click on About Google Chrome. This will force an update. Maybe this will help.

Same thing has been happening to me, I have to reboot every time it happens to solve the problem, but then it comes back. For instance, when uploading to WC, when I click the button to upload the screenshot or file, nothing happens. When right clicking on an image and then click "Save Image As", nothing happens, no dialog window, and again I have to again reboot. 

The problem does not occur in IE, just Chrome, and the latest version is what I have installed.

I was having a little trouble with Chrome being a little spastic a few days ago and I went in and disabled hardware acceleration again (I had disabled it on the previous version of WB, then gone back in and enabled it after the WB update).  That seems to have taken care of it for me (and honestly I can't see any difference between hardware acceleration enabled/disabled otherwise).  Might be worth a shot.

IE works real good......   

Chrome has been acting up of late. The throbber sometimes freezes, starts up again as the page is loading then freezes again. It doesn't happen here but when I go to yahoo sometimes the page will go black and mousing over clears part of it but I have to refresh the page to clear it all. I don't know if its a site issue or Chrome's new version is at fault. Same thing happened before I updated it.

It might be related (or not), but have you updated your Windowblinds to the latest version?

I had similar issues, and after updating, things were magically fixed.

I did but then restored the prior version.  The new WB beta breaks the built-in Windows 10 State Menu when you look at all programs.  Large letters of the alphabet are placed in two columns over the program names.  Support was unable to fix the problem but reinstalling the prior WB did.

That's one of the things it was doing to me before I unchecked "Use hardware acceleration when available" this last time around within Chrome's advanced settings.

I reinstalled the latest WB beta and the Start Menu problem has gone away.  However, still having the Chrome file dialog issue.  Unfortunately, rebooting doesn't fix that for me.

There's something more going on...have you disabled or enabled hardware acceleration...undo whatever it is now (make sure it's disabled).

Tell us a bit more about your computer...maybe a screeny from Speccy?

I had previously tried disabling hardware acceleration.  I even reset to default settings that unloads the extensions.  None of that worked.

However, I discovered now, if I unload WindowBlinds, the problem goes away.  

I reloaded WB and changed blinds and the problem has gone away.  The issue seems to be with the Reddish blind. Changing blinds also got rid of the shockwave crash.  very strange but applying the Reddish blind is the only recent change I made to my PC.   

I tested the skin gevansmd, and apparently my Reddish skin, and the base skin I used to create it called Scarlet, both cause this issue. I have absolutely no idea why though and the only problem with those two skins is in Chrome. I will try and resolve this issue, but I have absolutely no idea where to even start. None of my other skins have the issue, just those two. I apologize for anyone having this issue and I hope to resolve it quickly. 

Maybe someone in support could have a look at either of those skins and see if they notice anything? It would be greatly appreciated. 

Tom, and gevansmd:

I've moved the post to Stardock Support...I think it probably would have been better posted there, but definitely since Lightstar has posed the secondary question.

Also Tom I suggest you send a query to Support, separately.

Well, I looked through everything and cannot see what is causing this issue, so I have asked for assistance from support. Ticket# KRC-836-86635.

Just installed Reddish and thought maybe the problem wouldn't occur as sometimes happens but no luck. Dialogue box does not open.

The issue with Reddish has been found and the next WB update should address this.

What was the problem?

I am waiting for a reply from support so I can fix Reddish and Scarlet Ross, as soon as I find out I will modify and upload the fixed WB's.

EDIT: Doesn't make sense to me, but evidently the problem may be with WB and not Reddish or Scarlet. It doesn't make sense because only those two skins have the issue, so how can it be WB itself? Also, the problem occurs it in WB 8.13 and WB10. Crazy.... 

I'm only guessing here but could it have something to do with the UIS text or whatever you call it?
