Hi all,
Is there anyone facing this problem like me? When I make a clean install of Windows, and install Chrome (online install). After that, I browse the web with it, everything is normally, no problem happened. But after few weeks, I'm facing a problem that when I open the website has flash in it. Chrome says: "The following plug-in has crashed: Shockware Flash" (example in picture) and Chrome is freezing, it's so annoying. I also tried many guide on google but can't help. I tried Firefox, it doesn't have the same problem, but I don't like using Firefox, seems doesn't smooth as Chrome

Considering to update a version of GC then if possible, reset the profile data of Chrome to analyze the changes or re-installation process.

@Maxxx58 Can you post a screenshot of chrome://plugins with expanded [+] Details (top right). And do you have a separate installation for Adobe Flash Player on your system?

Why have you inastalled separate Flash while GC have a built-in plugin?

@Tabeer :Is your case as been solved already? Now in that case you need to observe by revert to the version which works very well and disable temporary the updates.

Or use an alternative browser that holds the same engine performance of Chrome.

But Chrome have built-in flash plugin so try to disable the one you have installed and then try again.

No. I don't have separate installation of Flash. I disabled it and does not have the problem again. But some websites require flash

What you are experiencing with Chrome is not uncommon.

Sometimes Chrome is cause, sometimes it is Flash. Add to that updates of each.

Sometimes something seemingly incompletely connected is cause.

I have found that there are times where it is next to impossible to determine cause so I can fix it.

Eventually it gets sorted out, but that takes time.

Sorry I cannot offer specific fix.
