If I reinstall Chrome ...

Had some trouble today with web pages not loading, and got a message to 'reload' the page.
Sometimes that worked. Sometimes not.
This happened about 15 times in several hours.

Ran all my scans, etc and found no problem.
Internet connection to my Windows 10 seems OK.

One suggestion I found was to reinstall Chrome, after uninstalling my current Chrome.

Will I lose all my saved 'favorite' websites?

All constructive comments appreciated.
Thanks

But there are two kinds of re-install.

1. Clean reinstall where you delete the program, the registry entries and user data. In this case you would need to manually back up your passwords and bookmarks. There should be instructions around somewhere.

2. Install over the top of the old installation. OK for updating etc but if the problem is in your profile may not be successful.

Not much help I know, but maybe get you started.

OP: I'd wait a bit before doing anything, see if it goes away.
