I don't want to have to reinstall Chrome. What have these updates done to Chrome. Is this just the Windows-Netscape battle all over again where anyone not using IE gets punished for it?

It may be related to the S Channel patch which was included in the latest set of updates. I did not see anything recent, but there were posts about it in the last couple of years.

Make sure and try a cold boot to see if that might reset something.

I don't use Chrome, so not really familiar.

Uninstalling and reinstalling chrome only takes a few minutes. If there are issues that can't be fixed by the normal channels, then the next best thing is to uninstall and reinstall chrome.

Network connection is fine, thanks - only thing different is a humungous bunch of Windows updates got downloaded and installed.

I had to go to fire fox. Shockwave kept crashing and I tried 4 solutions to try and fix it. Nothing worked.
