Windows 10 update + Chrome randomly don't work?

[Compddd]

Curious problem that's been happening to me randomly on Windows 10. Sometimes when I wake my desktop rig from sleep, I can't open Chrome, or go into Windows 10 update. Also if I try rebooting it will just hang at the restarting screen until I hit the hard reset on my tower.

Not really sure what to do? Should I just chalk it up to Windows 10 growing pains/bugs ?

I've been on Win 10 since July 2015 and this only started happening in the past month. I'm on a clean install.

Any ideas?

Did you run 'sfc.exe /scannow' yet?
See if that shows any corruptions.
Also check event viewer to see if you see any errors/warnings going on.

I ran sfc /scannow when I got home and it said Windows found corrupted files and repaired them.

Should I do a fresh re-install anyway?

Chkdsk may be worth a shot. Also windows repair.

A fresh install is always a good option, but, if it happens again, then you need to find out why they are getting corrupted.
Check SMART status with crystaldiskinfo portable version, and see if it reports any issues.

CrystalDisk is reporting 100% good on my SSD.

Try running this in an elevated command prompt.

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Then run sfc /scannow and reboot when it is finished.

Did that, said all clear on both.

Guess I'm good for now?

open a command prompt, type "chkdsk C: /f" and say yes, reboot. You can do a disk cleanup after to clear the cruff (go through the remove system files) button after the first scan and you should be good to go.

Ok did that as well. Didn't have much to clean up. Hopefully I'm good now!

I think at this point you have done all you can do. If it continues to happen it's either a Win10 problem or a Chrome problem.
