How Do I Disable Chrome on Windows?

Published in Computer & Technology 1 min read

You can't completely disable Chrome on Windows, but you can prevent it from running automatically by disabling it from starting up with your computer. Here's how:

Disable Chrome from Starting Up

  1. Open Task Manager: Right-click on the taskbar and select "Task Manager".
  2. Go to the Startup Tab: Click on the "Startup" tab at the top of the Task Manager window.
  3. Find Chrome: Look for "Google Chrome" in the list of startup programs.
  4. Disable Chrome: Right-click on the Chrome entry and select "Disable".

Alternative Method: Disable Chrome in System Configuration

  1. Open the Run Dialog: Press the Windows key + R.
  2. Type "msconfig" and press Enter: This will open the System Configuration window.
  3. Go to the Startup Tab: Click on the "Startup" tab.
  4. Uncheck the "Google Chrome" box: This will prevent Chrome from starting up when you log in.
  5. Click "Apply" and "OK".

Note: Disabling Chrome from starting up will only prevent it from running automatically. You can still manually open Chrome at any time.
