It seems unlikely that you cannot run Chrome on Windows 10. We'll need more details around what you mean by "my google chrome will not work" - what, specifically, are you doing that is making you say this?

Maybe Microsoft is updating their old manta of "DOS isn't done until Lotus won't run" for the 21st century! :grin:

Chrome starts in Windows 10 but the web pages do not open (yes I have an internet connection as Edge works). I get a "Loading..." for several minutes then a "Page Unresponsive" message with a Kill or Wait buttons. If I click Wait and page has a "Loading..." label then a "Page Unresponsive" message again. I reinstalled Chrome and have the same issue after the reinstall.

Update: 08/01/2015
The Google Chrome Canary build is designed for developers and early adopters does work with Windows 10. Canary changes and gets new features almost every day.

Have you tried using another browser? For me it seems to be more an issue of connectivity. Every once in a while Chrome will not load web pages, but if I try Edge, Internet Explorer, or Firefox, they don't work either. When this happens, my computer shows that it is online. The problem is also intermittent.

That sounds like an issue with NIC drivers.

Did you read my post where I stated "yes I have an internet connection as Edge works"?

Yes, except I can ping websites. The issue seems to be with browsers. And it's very spotty, it doesn't happen often.

Try changing the compatibility mode to Windows 7.

Strange. Mine works just fine, I'm typing this post on Chrome. Have you tried reinstalling Chrome or disabling your extensions?

Try changing the capability mode to Windows 7.

This worked for me

I meant compatibility instead of capability, sorry. Glad that you understood what I was trying to say and glad that it worked! :wink:

Chrome has worked fine for me in windows 10 since release day. I stopped using it however to give edge a try. I'm assuming most of you have 64 bit computers. You need to actually make sure you are using Chrome 64 bit and not just the regular 32 bit version. To make sure google chrome 64 bit and download and install. Chrome 64 bit is perfect right now in Windows 10.

FYI - All extentions also work. I'm using adblock,pocket,chromecast right now

Version: 44.0.2403.125 Updated July 29, 2015

Here is the link that's fully compatible for Windows 10

I had the same issue. Chrome, which worked after I switched to Windows 10, then stopped working. I could not get the installed version to run. It was not a problem with the shortcut. However, deleting and reinstalling Chrome seems to have resolved the problem.

But is it my imagination or does it load slower on Windows10?

I have the same problem. This has to be Microsoft trying to force Google out. Chrome either will not open at all or takes 10+ minutes to open. Edge opens instantly. Tried downloading Chrome and all it does is hang. Left it "downloading" overnight and it did nothing. Trying to uninstall Chrome now and it's doing the same...nothing. Oh, there it goes. Chrome just opened a full 15 minutes after I started it. Nice one Microsoft. You think know one sees what you're trying to do? I guess you have to do that because Edge is still second rate. It barely works and still has same developer tools as IE9. Just give up already!:devil:

Another solution is, if you have cisco VPN installed.. remove that completely.. that's the biggest issue many of my friends are facing..
