Answer
Google Chrome usually reopens after quitting due to plug ins that don't shut down properly. Plugins are essentially applications within Google Chrome
. If they are not shutting down incorrectly it can cause Google Chrome
to continuously reopen. This can be solved by disabling the plug ins in the extensions window.
- Open Google Chrome
. On the top right of the Chrome window, there should be three vertical dots. Click on this, then go down and select More Tools. Then select Extensions.
- This will change the page you are looking at to the Extensions page, which will show all the plugins you have currently installed on Google Chrome
. There will be a switch located on the bottom right of each extension.
- To disable the extension, make sure the switch is to the left, and grayed out, (shown with Google Docs Office).
- To activate an extension, make sure it is blue, and the switch is on the right, (shown with the Sheets extensions).
- To disable the extension, make sure the switch is to the left, and grayed out, (shown with Google Docs Office).
- After your plugins have been disabled, Restart the application.
- If the problem still has not been resolved, you may need to update Google Chrome
. Instructions can be found here.
- If this doesn't resolve the issue, Reset the PRAM. Instructions can be found here or you can take your system to the Techcentre, who can provide further assistance.
