Chrome Book Acting Strange

[Doug]

MY Lenovo Chromebook says "Chrome did not shut down properly" evey time I close the cover. I have the power setting set to "do not sleep when cover closed." This is different from the previous operation.
Is anybody else having a similar problem?

Computer is ok, but wife is acting strange.

I use an Acer Chromebook and no problems closing the lid while staying awake. Have you installed the latest version?

 

[Doug]

Yes, my current version is 81.0.4044.141. The problem started about a month ago. Also, anytime I close the lid, when I open it, it says "Chrome didn't shut down properly" and asks if I want to restore the previous pages. I'm trying to figure out if it's software or hardware.

Time for a powerwash and see if it fixes it.

 

[Doug]

Already did the powerwash three weeks ago; no change.

Does it do it with all accounts or just yours?

 

[Doug]

Mine is the only account on my chromebook.

It seems no one else is having this problem, so I conclude it is a hardware problem. Since I like the size and weight of this machine, I intend to work around it until the thing goes toes up.

Factory reset? Start over from the beginning?

I would try a different account and see if it is possibly an extension or app that may be causing the issue. Additional accounts are easy to make and can be deactivated or left to die naturally.

Do a powerwash, then sign in with the new account first. If it works, then the extension hunt is on. It may be hardware, but I think there would bet more people talking about it, unless its a component failure.
