I think Chrome is poorly written with the way it opens threads (at least the version I have). It may not like Windows 10 at all.

Ubuntu with Oracle VM to run a Windows window where you can install your old Win s/w. Start with a fresh HD.

Google Chrome

Hmm. I think I see part of your problem here.

takes 10 minutes to open on Windows 10.

And here's the other part.

Where do you think that “10” in the name comes from, anyway?

1) How much memory do you have on your computer. If you have 2GB or less, you either need to upgrade the memory, or go make coffee while waiting for Chrome to load.

2) If you have more than 2GB of memory, time for you to look at what else your computer is doing - do you have a lot of old drivers for mice and cameras you don't use anymore? Might be a great time to download the Windows 10 media and just reinstall Windows fresh. (Back up your data first, of course - but you already did that when it updated to 10, right? RIGHT?)

3) If you have more than 2GB of ram, and there's no great heap of drivers loading (or other programs like Plex, OneDrive, DropBox, etc), you could try uninstalling Google Chrome and then re-installing it. This is LEAST likely the cause of your problems.

I have a little netbook with 1GB of ram and Windows 10, it takes about 2 minutes for Windows 10 to fully load, and then about 2 minutes for Chrome to start as it goes through and unloads tons of drivers from memory onto the hard disk. It is not upgradable, but honestly, I mostly use it for writing and not browsing.

EVERYTHING was working perfectly on my machine until I stupidly updated to Win 10.

I am sure I will have a new OS on this machine within the month.

WindowSUCKS.

My bluetooth is still FUBAR.

Windows10 = piece of $hit !!

Windows 10 is not done until chrome doesn’t run.

Uninstall then reinstall Chrome. I have had to do this several times in the past.

I’m running chrome on 10 right now and it opens instantly.

It’s not the OS or the browser causing your problem.

When I updated to Windows 10 it changed my network connection from public to private. The new security in place causes web browsing to grind to a halt when on a public network connection and Chrome seems to handle it worse than other browsers while Firefox handles it best but is still slow. To fix this, go to your network connection and turn on file/printer sharing which will speed everything up.

Quick read yesterday indicated that Chrome is going to drop support for Java. Haven’t researched enough to know when this will occur (version number) but the ramifications will be quite steep. If you’re loading a new version of Chrome, you may want to consider this development.
