OldSchoolBus Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Even if I haven't run Google Chrome for a week I always get a pop-up while CCleaner is running telling me "Google Chrome needs to be closed to clean the Internet Cache" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted March 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2012 Are you using Chrome Print or Chrome Sync? These (and a few other addons) keep a Chrome instance running even if you are not currently browsing. Check the Processes tab of Task Manager and see if there are any Chrome.exe or plugincontainer instances (besure to have "show processes for all users" checked off on task Manager) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

I was having the same issue and brain farted when it came to having Chrome Print and Chrome Sync running. Thanks for the reminder. CCleaner ended up removing another 800+ MB of junk files because of Google's internet cache that was being skipped for the last couple weeks.

skypix Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hi, I'm having the same issue, plus my laptop has lately been booting up, but none of the icons work and I have to do a restart. When I do, a dialog says do you want to force Chrome to close? It wasn't open. I checked processes as advised above and there are 10 chrome.exe processes running but no sync or print that I can find. Chrome seems corrupted, maybe I should just uninstall and reinstall. Any suggestions? This seems to be happening every time I cold boot up now thanks for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 CCleaner ended up removing another 800+ MB of junk files because of Google's internet cache that was being skipped for the last couple weeks. 400 MB per week is an awful lot of Adverts that Google was serving you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted January 18, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 18, 2013 10 chrome.exe processes running but no sync or print that I can find. usually caused by a badly written add-on. Kill all ten occurrences and chrome will clean. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Just Thistime Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 This solved the problem for me: When you close Chrome, dont use the x at the top right of your tab. Use Chrome's menu. Scroll to 'exit' and close the program that way. Otherwise chrome stays in memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
