Google Chrome doesn't start after install of Start 10

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

After installing Start 10, Google Chrome no longer opened at all.  It never brought up a window, and I found that processes were hanging around in task manager.  So it seems like it just failed to open a window or was stalled waiting for the window to open.  I tried a lot of things including attempting to uninstall Google Chrome, but the uninstaller also did not work.  After uninstalling Start 10, Chrome returned to working as normal.

I am unable to reproduce this here.

What version of Chrome do you have and what sound card do you have?

Hello!

My google chrome version is "Version 44.0.2403.155 m".  For the sound card, it is an onboard sound card.  My Device Manager lists two devices: "AMD High Definition Audio Device" and "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC".

Ok, I just tried to reproduce it again myself... and now both Start 10 and Chrome are working.  As Start 10 requires a reboot after uninstalling, I think it may have just been a fluke and the reboot was all that was needed (although I had rebooted before).  In any case, I have both installed now and working as expected.  Thanks for looking into this!
