I had that problem and spent several hours trying to fix. Finally solved by turning off hardware acceleration in Chrome Settings. Of course, Settings doesn't open either so you have to boot in Safe Mode, go to Chrome Settings there and uncheck the box under Advanced Settings that says use hardware acceleration and then Restart.

At least that worked for me. I hope it does for you also.

Bully for you. Doesn't help me in any way though!

The most difficult job in the current W10 is finding how to get to Safe Mode!

Thanks, Ken. Yes, I Googled it and got there eventually. It used to be much simpler in years gone by.
