Just about every time I open Google Chrome, it displays a message that it did not shut down properly. When I have multiple tabs open, sometimes I will close each tab individually. Other times I just close Chrome by clicking in the X in the upper right corner. Regardless of what method I use to exit Chrome, I get this message. What can I do so that this doesn't come up every time?

Try one by one all below.

- Untick following option from Chrome Advanced Settings:

- Go to following URL:

chrome://version/

and copy paste, Command Line here, so we can see you might not be in some field trial experiment with stupid flags turned on.

 

- If nothing works, Sync your stuff and go to Documents and Settings in Windows OS drive then navigate to "user\appdata\local\google\chrome\userdata\", rename default folder to "default_old" (without quotes) and then start Chrome, where it will create new profile, then sync back your old stuff.

I've unchecked the 'continue running background apps when Chromium is closed' option. Hopefully that will fix the problem.

 

Here is the command line from Chrome:

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end

I've unchecked the 'continue running background apps when Chromium is closed' option. Hopefully that will fix the problem.

 

Here is the command line from Chrome:

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end

 

You didn't have any experimental flags enabled. If problem will be fixed, let us know by commenting here.

Still getting the 'Chrome did not shut down properly' message. If there is a tab that I want to keep open, and I close the lid on the computer, it will make Chrome shut down. If I close every tab and then come back to Chrome later, I get this message.

 

The only other application I would be running is a game, but I close out of that. What I want to accomplish is to be able to open Chrome without getting a message every single time that it did not shut down properly.

- Open this using RUN:

%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

or this

%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Chrome\User Data\Default

- Open Preferences file from this folder in "Notepad"

- Find "exit_type" using F3 or Ctrl+F

- remane exit_type : "crashed" to exit_type : "normal"

Still getting the message that the browser did not shut down properly, even after making the change above.

 

- Rename, Default folder to Default_old

- Open Chrome and let it create new profile

  • 2 weeks later...

I know that renaming the profile to old is the first step in fixing the problem. I've done that before, but it doesn't fix the problem. I'll try it again and see if I can finally get the browser to shut down properly.

 

I've noticed that if I minimize the browser before closing the lid on the laptop, it usually doesn't give that message. Sometimes though even if the browser is minimized before closing the lid, it will still give that message.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
