I am running the latest version of Windows which was updated a week or so ago. I have uninstalled Google Chrome, downloaded the latest version and reinstalled it and it still won't open a web page.
Everything works OK with MS Edge.

As far as I know, mione are the latest versions as well - the WookieTab updated a day or so ago.
What does Winver / Chrome "Help...About" say you are running?

So your Chrome is up to date, but the Win 10 version is the Fall Creators update from 2017, not the version that was pushed in April this year?
If this is a new problem, I'd suspect something else on your system, and probably start with a malware scan myself.

disable all extensions and make sure you have the latest version running (help --> about) if Chrome needs to update, you will see it start here automatically. I sometimes cannot use chrome until it has finished updating.

Don't ask me what I have done, but Google is now working, thank goodness.

Yes, all the Q&A inquirers, apparently.

Yeah, I've told Google my mother is dead, but it keeps acting like I need one.

I did that extreme programming thing once. Paired up with my boss, and after every minor milestone was achieved, he'd ask, "Are you ready to compile it yet?"
After telling him no about a dozen times over the course of about three hours and 600 lines of code, I finally compiled it, and not only did it compile clean (with not even a single warning), but it ran correctly.
He shook his head, said, "Simply f*ckin amazing", and walked out of my office. Later that day, he told me he felt like he was only slowing me down by being there. 
"Extreme programing" proponents can suck my redneck azz.

Great story, John, and, for some reason, makes me think of the movie "Casablanca," when Bogart says to Ingrid: "We'll always have Paris." [^].
Sometimes I think our moments of personal excellence, transcendence, selflessness in loving kindness, are the only things that persist when our wetware shells are dis-animated ... but, other times, I just don't think.
cheers, Bill

The biggest advantage is that the weaker one in the team has an easier time learning. If he is not learning, he is not just slowing you down, but also wasting his own time - otherwise the slowdown might have been justifyable by having a second dev that knows the details of the application.

At least he was one of the few people smart enough to recognize that.

Person A should stop everything and help Person B with 'our' project. As much as I hate being Person A, being Person B would be worse. (a dependent)

Is that really a surprise? For the same reasons you are expected to go down with the Titanic and let them sit in a life boat instead. Or why more than 90% of all deaths at work being men is perfectly acceptable while so shockingly little is done to make women feel safe. Or generally why every Feminazi thinks to be automatically entitled to everything, we of course only get to keep everything that's too messy or too dangerous for them.
They simply judge us by the amount of security and support we can provide and nothing else. You are supposed to work your ass off or kick the bucket if it must be. And while you are at it, don't complain and feel proud and happy to make those sacrifices. Just try it and see what will happen then.
