Chrome does not work after installing JDK

Question

I installed jdk-8u101-windows-x64 on my Windows 10 x64 to continue installing Netbeans 8.1 in one package, and after the JDK was installed, the system immediately rebooted.

When the system rebooted, Chrome stops working. Loading a page from any page or even settings now displays "Aw, Snap! Something went wrong while you display this web page. More details - Reload."

Click More info or reboot do nothing. I tried disabling Defender and turning it back on, not working.

Reinstalling or rebooting the PC several times did not work.

Has anyone come across this?

Thanks.

I also have Windows 10 x64 and just trying to install the JDK. It was JDK 8 Update 101, and my version of Google Chrome is 53.0.2785.143. This did not force me to reboot, but I went ahead and restarted, and when I booted up, I did not see the same problems that you were talking about.

It makes me think that it is something specific with your machine and nothing with the JDK or Chrome. You may have a chrome extension that is causing problems.

To fix the problem you're having, I would download and install the Chrome Cleanup Tool . If this does not solve the problem, you can try running Chrome in "safe mode", for example:

Right-click, create a shortcut, rename, right-click on the properties and add - -incognito-, outside the field - in the target field on the shortcut tab. Then apply and ok

Once you can launch Chrome in incognito mode, you can remove it using the settings.

If this still does not work, you may have to manually delete user data for Chrome in AppData and in the registry. To remove AppData, follow the link: C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data and delete the default folder, then restart Chrome.

To remove extensions from the registry, open regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions and delete the keys there.

Sounds like broken java libraries ...

Try removing Netbeans, JDK, Chrome, in that order. Then install Chrome again, try, then JDK, try Chrome, then Netbeans, try Chrome.

Also check that you have a 32-bit JDK, and that your preferred Java is set to 32-bit, since Chrome is 32bit.
