b) Type the following command and press Enter:
wmic product where “name like ‘Google Chrome'” call uninstall

If your issue is related to your user profile, creating a new user profile may help quickly restore Google Chrome’s performance:

a) Press ‘Win+R’ on your keyboard and type ‘chrome.exe –user-data-dir=”C:\Your\New\Profile\Path”‘ (without

quotes). Replace ‘C:\Your\New\Profile\Path’ with your desired new profile directory.

b) Press Enter to launch Google Chrome with a new, clean profile.

c) If Google Chrome opens without any issues, you can now use this new user profile or transfer your old data to the new one.

Remember to back up your bookmarks and important data before reinstalling Google Chrome to avoid losing data. Reinstalling the browser can be an effective way of resolving technical issues and restoring optimal browsing performance.
