If you frequently use Google Chrome, you may have come across the frustrating “Page Unresponsive” error. This issue can arise from several sources, such as outdated Chrome versions, overloaded cache, incompatible extensions, and others. But fear not! Our blog post will walk you through a systematic approach to troubleshooting and resolving this problem.

Method 1: Updating Google Chrome

The first and most straightforward way to fix the “Page Unresponsive” error is by updating your Google Chrome to the latest version. Here’s how to update your browser:

  1. Open Google Chrome
  2. Click on the three-dot menu icon on the top-right corner
  3. Hover over the Help option and then click on About Google Chrome
  4. If there’s an update available, Chrome will automatically start downloading it. After the download is complete, click on Relaunch to apply the update.

Method 2: Clearing browsing data

Method 3: Disabling Extensions

Some extensions might be incompatible with Google Chrome, resulting in the “Page Unresponsive” error. To disable extensions, follow these steps:

  1. Open Google Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/.
  2. Disable all the extensions by toggling off the switch for each extension.
  3. Restart Chrome and check if the problem persists.

Method 4: Resetting Google Chrome

If none of the above methods work, you can reset Google Chrome to its default settings. Note, doing this will remove all your bookmarks, history, and saved passwords. Here’s how you can reset Chrome:

  1. Open Google Chrome and navigate to chrome://settings/.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom and click on Advanced.
  3. Again scroll down to the bottom and click on Reset settings to their original defaults.
  4. A confirmation box will appear, click on Reset settings to confirm.
