Like any device, a program can damage its original settings and elements, which will lead to malfunction. Logically, the easiest way to fix this, if we are talking about a browser, is to reinstall it. How to carry out the operation correctly and not lose everything accumulated through backbreaking labor - read below.

What you need

1. Google Chrome browser installed.

Instructions

Since the browser from Google is, if not the most, then certainly, solving the current problem is not difficult. Your attention will have to be paid to the “Synchronization” function - one of the most useful, but usually hidden from the gaze of users, feature.

1. You should start by entering “ chrome://settings/syncSetup" (without quotes) into the address bar.
We chose this method in order to ensure the relevance of the instructions in the future, because browser versions change, and accordingly the location and name of the buttons also, but this method remains relevant in any version of the program.

2. A browser settings window will open in front of you, responsible for synchronizing information. You will be asked to enter your Google account information. Your chance of having it is 90%, since you are using software from this company. If you are a hidden Protestant and did not want to create an account until this moment, now you will have to change your principles.

3. After this, the program will open a dialogue in which it will agree with you on a specific “what needs to be saved” and provide a list of information that can be saved on Google servers. Your task is to select the items of interest (if you have nothing special to hide, you can safely select the item "Sync everything").

4. Now you need to delete your user. Go to your browser settings, to the section "Users", and press the cross. Then feel free to go to "Installing and removing programs" and delete the browser (here you can read,). Now install it again, open the synchronization section again and enter your account login information. Done, all your settings are in place.

This function will also allow you to get “exactly your” browser at your workplace or on a guest computer, in which no one else will be able to set their own rules. Also, you can use other useful information to save your data -.

Quite often, when troubleshooting any problems in the Google Chrome browser, users are faced with a recommendation to reinstall the web browser. It would seem that what is so difficult here? But here the user is faced with the question of how to perform this task correctly so that any problems that arise are guaranteed to be resolved.

Reinstalling the browser involves removing the web browser and then installing it again. Below we will look at how to properly reinstall so that problems with the browser are successfully resolved.

Stage 1: saving information

Most likely, you want not just to install a clean version of Google Chrome, but to reinstall Google Chrome, saving bookmarks and other important information accumulated over the years of working with the web browser. The easiest way to do this is to sign in to your Google account and set up synchronization.

If you are not yet signed in to your Google account, click on the profile icon in the upper right corner and select the option from the menu that appears "Sign in to Chrome" .

An authorization window will appear on the screen, in which you will first need to enter your email address and then your Google account password. If you don't yet have a Google email address registered, you can register one.

Now that you've signed in, you need to double-check your sync settings to make sure that all the necessary sections of Google Chrome will be securely saved. To do this, click on the browser menu button and go to the section "Settings" .

At the topmost area of ​​the window in the block "Entrance" click the button "Advanced synchronization settings" .

A window will appear on the screen in which you need to check whether all the items that should be synchronized by the system are checked. Make settings if necessary, and then close this window.

After waiting some time until the synchronization is completed, you can proceed to the second stage, which already relates directly to reinstalling Google Chrome.

Stage 2: Removing the Browser

Reinstalling the browser begins with completely removing it from the computer. If you reinstall the browser due to problems with its functioning, it is important to completely remove the browser, which will be quite difficult to achieve using standard Windows tools. That is why there is a separate article on our website that describes in detail how to correctly, and most importantly, completely remove Google Chrome.

Stage 3: Fresh Browser Installation

Once you have finished deleting the browser, you must reboot the system so that the computer correctly accepts all the new changes made. The second stage of reinstalling the browser is, of course, installing a new version.

There is nothing complicated in this regard, with one small exception: many users install the Google Chrome distribution already on their computer. It’s better not to do this, but to first download the latest distribution from the developer’s official website.

There is nothing complicated in installing Google Chrome itself, since the installer will do everything for you, without giving you the right to choose: you run the installation file, after which the system begins downloading all the necessary files for further installation of Google Chrome, and then automatically proceeds to install it. As soon as the system finishes installing the browser, it will launch automatically.

At this point, the reinstallation of the Google Chrome browser can be considered complete. If you don't want to use the browser from scratch, be sure to sign in to your Google Account so that your previous browser information can be successfully synced.
