Chrome Version 72.0.3626.96 (Official Build) (64-bit) stopped working! Just updated to it and nothing works/runs anymore! Tried a remove and reinstall but that didn't fix anything.
Any ideas for a fix.

Try moving the profile folder to see if it can startup with a clean one.
The profile folder is in ~/.config/google-chrome.
(you can either rename it or simply move it outside the .config folder)

See if that does anything.

Can't find profile folder. Only Guest profile shows.

It's not in /home/user/.config?
(replace user with your username)

What does guest profile refer to?
(Where are you seeing that?)

Guest profile shows up in the dropdown after putting, ~/.config/google-chrome in Chrome address bar.

Not sure what that helps, but I refer to moving within Ubuntu's file manager (Files).
Do it while chrome it not running, or loaded.
Then after moving the folder try starting chrome.

And if you pasted it into chrome what exactly isn't running about chrome?

Will try that.

Right now when loading Chrome just the home page shows and nothing else responds to any mouse commands or anything.

Seems like it's something that happens here and there:

Not sure how helpful those will be as they affect Mac and Windows users, but at least you feel safe knowing it's not unknown or unheard of.

Opened up Chrome and it appears to be running fine!
Didn't do anything since last post but at least Chrome is running as of now.
