Just like there are many scenarios where you will be shown a blank page upon visiting a website, there are many reasons for this as well. Sometimes one of your extensions might be causing this issue. In some cases there might have been a corrupted History file that might be the reasons. In worst cases, all of this might be caused by a virus. As there are many reasons for this to happen, we suggest you go through each method starting from method 1 and continue until your problem is solved.
Troubleshooting
The first thing to do is to clear the cache and cookies of the browser. Most of the time this solves your problem so try to clear the cache first and then start following the methods.
Method 1: Disabling Extensions
Disabling your extensions will help you figure out the issue. If disabling all the extensions solves this problem then that means one of your extensions were causing this issue. To check which one was the reason behind it, try to enable the extensions one by one. Check if the issue is resolved or not.
Method 2: Disable Hardware Acceleration
Disabling Hardware Acceleration also solves the problem of blank pages so try to follow the given steps to disable it.
Method 3: Administrator rights
Sometimes running Chrome as administrator works as well. This isn’t really a solution but a workaround this problem until the problem is solved. It is useful especially if you can’t access any page in the browser.
Method 4: Changing the History folder
If the issue is because of the corrupt History folder of the Chrome browser then renaming the History folder will solve the issue.
Method 5: Uninstall and Reinstall the browser
Uninstalling and reinstalling the software might solve the problem if the issue is because of the browser itself. But before uninstalling, make sure the browser is closed. Go here and download revouninstaller. It is a software that helps in removing a program completely from the PC. It removes the traces as well. In our case, we want the browser to be completely erased so that we can reinstall it. Download the software and install it. Now run the revouninstaller and select Google Chrome and uninstall it. Try to run the revouninstaller on Google Chrome multiple times to make sure you have uninstalled the browser completely. Once done, reinstall the Google Chrome by re downloading the setup from the internet.
Method 6: Resizing the browser
In extreme cases, you might not be able to open any page in the browser including the browsers own page like settings etc. These pages will open just for a few seconds and then goes back to blank. In these scenarios, it’s really difficult to even change the settings especially if you don’t have another browser to work with. A workaround of this problem is to resize the browser. Grab the lower right hand corner of the browser window and resize it to almost one half of its original size. Now the page will render normally and if you resize the browser back to its original size, it should work fine.
Method 7: Renaming files
Now relaunch the Google Chrome and it should solve the problem If this doesn’t solve the problem, then try to steps given below If both for the above mentioned tricks don’t work for you then try these steps:
Now run the chrome and it should work normally. Note: This method is not safe and makes your computer vulnerable to security threats. So use it on your own risk.
Method 8: Check Compatibility
Sometimes the browsers application might be set to compatibility mode that maybe causing the issue. Removing the Run in Compatibility mode option solves this problem in that case.
Method 9: Deleting or Renaming Default Folder
Once you are logged in, your settings and everything should be back If you have multiple profiles then repeat this process for all of the profiles.
Method 10: Scan the Computer
If the problem is because of a virus then there are two things that you can do. The first thing is to download, if you don’t have already, an antivirus and scan the computer for any viruses. You can also use the Malwarebytes to check your computer for any infections. If that doesn’t solve your problem then performing a System Restore might solve the problem especially if the problem just started to show in the browser. Go here and follow the step by step guide to perform a system restore of your computer.
