How to remove or fix Google black screen easily
There are various ways to fix Google Chrome display issues . In fact, you can try clearing Chrome’s cache and cookies and other basic actions, but if the above doesn’t work, it’s best to try the following methods.
Disable hardware acceleration
Hardware acceleration can be very efficient in speeding up and optimizing the performance of Google Chrome if you have the right hardware. For example, it’s useful if you have a graphics card, but if you don’t have one or it’s failing, it might slow down performance a bit or cause errors. For the above reasons it is recommended that you disable this feature if you experience problems .
- To do this, open the browser
- Enter the ‘Settings’ options and at the top, click on the magnifying glass. Find ‘Hardware acceleration’.
- Disable the ‘Use hardware acceleration when available’option .
Deactivate plugins
When the Google screen goes black, sometimes it becomes necessary to disable some plugins or extensions , especially if you notice that the error appeared after installing them. Therefore, if you think that a plugin is causing the problem, do the following.
- Within Chrome, go to ‘More tools’, an option that you will find after pressing on the three points above and to the right of the browser.
- Select ‘Extensions’ and disable the one you think is causingthe problem.
Disable Chrome flags
The ‘Indicators’ known in English as ‘Flags’ allow access to the advanced functions of the browser. In any case, all these functions are in a trial period, so it is not recommended to activate them. In fact, turning on certain flags can cause the Google screen to go black. To disable a specific indicator do the following.
- Open Google Chrome.
- In the address bar type the following ‘chrome://flags/’ and press the Enter key.
- Now simply look for the flag that might be causing the problem. Of course, read the information of each one carefully so as not to deactivate a necessary function, although you will need to know English or use a translator.
Resize Chrome
Sometimes the Google black screen bug is temporary and is fixed by restarting Chrome. In turn, if you don’t want to restart the browser, you can try resizing the window. In fact, maximizing or minimizing usually fixes the black screen problem most of the time.
Run Chrome in Compatibility mode
Google Chrome hasn’t had Compatibility Mode for a long time, but we do have another option with similar features, ‘Incognito Mode’ . In fact, incognito mode has no extensions, plugins or other programs, so it is equivalent to using the browser in safe/compatibility mode.
- To activate incognito mode, open the browser.
- Click on the three points located above and to the right.
- Click on ‘New incognito window’and you can use this mode. Now, just check if the black screen issue is gone.
Reinstall Chrome
Many times the problem of the black screen of Google Chrome is due to errors with the version that we have installed, if this is the case, it is recommended to uninstall the browser . Still, make sure to export your Chrome bookmarks and passwords first so you don’t lose any relevant information.
After uninstalling Google Chrome, you should download it from its official website , this way you will get the latest version of the program. Downloading and installing the browser is something we recommend if none of the other solutions are effective .
Another alternative if Chrome continues to represent failures
In most cases, the solutions that we present to you will be functional to fix the black screen problem in Chrome. But, if for some reason the problems persist, we recommend installing another browser . There are some very good options, such as Firefox or Opera, do not stay without browsing and use an alternative to Chrome.
