I have right at 100 mappings in my hosts file. Sure cuts down on the junk being downloaded/displayed in the browser.

I started using it back in January and so far have had no issues. Chrome works great. My only issue would be the inability to turn off, or even configure, Windows Update. On my Windows 7 box, I had it set to "download but not install" so that I could decide if an update was needed. Not a showstopper, but it shouldn't take that control away from me.

Last night I noticed that Edge was missing.
Then I noticed the Store was missing.
Did all the steps MS says to do to fix things like that....nope. Still missing.
Ah, well, I need to reinstall anyway, since I got a new motherboard with an M.2 drive I'll use for "C:".
But that's not the point.

I probably would not notice them missing in years.

Right. We want to know why things change. Who is controlling / effecting our hardware?

Your issues aren't really with Win 10 though are they. It appears the problem is with your Chrome installation at least 3 of 5 reboots.
Have you run H/W test, RAM, graphics etc?
|

I believe you are correct. It may well be Chrome now that it has caused this problem every time I start it.
I finally just gave up for the evening and now am at work so I'll have to see what Kaspersky says tonight and probably uninstall / install Chrome.

It's about time Microsoft got their act together and fixed Chrome!

Ummm...your solution for disk utilization stuck at 100% is to reboot...twice? 
At the very least, launch Resource Monitor and try to establish what files are being accessed. Hopefully that should give you some idea as to what process is causing that.

Once Chrome started, I could not do anything. Nothing.
And it's not CPU (it's an i7), instead it is 100% disk utilization.
I wrote a program that uses FileSystem Watcher so yes I was watching every file being read and written.
I've not seen anything like this before because like I said the entire machine just sits once this happens.

Where in my post was I inferring I had mistaken 100% disk usage for 100% CPU usage?
What did your file system watcher program reveal? I suspect it wouldn't have access to some system files that Resource Manager would.

I was just mentioning the other details.

It runs as Admin and has access to everything. I mean everything. Even files that I cannot actually edit however, again as I said once this problem occurs I cannot switch to any other program. Nothing.
It could be a graphics problem like the desktop just isn't redrawing so I can't tell if anything is happening. Had that problem way back on NT 4 years ago.
Thought the machine was locked but actually the graphics weren't being redrawn.
Also, I updated the original post with an edit and I found someone else mentioning the same problem with Chrome.

For years I've avoided Chrome...I keep hearing stories of seemingly unrelated problems that simply shouldn't happen--nothing ever specific, just "weird coincidences", until Chrome is removed or reinstalled. I had to install it about a week ago on a machine I actually care about, and I still feel dirty.

I may be a .NET developer but my next PC's going to be a Mac.

It's getting better with .NET Core support and Rider by JetBrains.. I've been using it on Mac and Ubuntu without too many issues.
Won't be long until we're all programming .NET on whatever platform we want
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Yes, definitely, especially now SQLServer's available for LINUX.

And you'll still be able to dev .NET apps I guess since VStudio is going to be everywhere.

JetBrains Rider already is!

I had a similar issue on Windows 7 once with Chrome. I had to completely uninstall it and then install the latest version (rather than just upgrading it).
Might not be the same as your problem, but it might be worth a go as it's pretty quick to do.

I think you are right and will do that later when I get home.
