Chrome freezes for ~60 seconds after first open when Windows 10 starts up
After I boot up Windows 10 and go to start Chrome, I get about 5 seconds of functionality and then Chrome freezes for about 60 seconds or more. I can open new tabs but they don't load anything. I cannot interact with any existing tab contents. During that time I can't open settings, view extension or open Developer Tools but I am able to open Chrome's Task Manager.
- No other apps lag or freeze in this time period
- I've tried deleting
/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/(This removes all extensions) - I've tried a completely fresh install of Chrome
- Firefox and IE11 are unaffected by this issue as well as all other apps
- It happens even with Hardware Acceleration disabled
- Chrome Canary is not affected by the bug
- Happens even on chrome://settings page
- Disabled internet. Still happens on tabs trying to open chrome://settings
- Disabled a bunch of the services under "Privacy and security"
What could be potential causes of this problem? What are some things I can do to troubleshoot this issue?
I recently upgraded my computer (new motherboard, CPU and RAM) and it was after that time but I don't know if it started immediately with the new machine.

In addition to what you've tried:
- Go to Settings and clear all saved data, including cached data, saved passwords, and cookies
- close all browsers
- Restart the machine
If the problem recurs, run a boot-time scan with your antivirus program to make sure you don't have a rootkit installing nonsense into Chrome.

Worked for me:
go to apps; select microsoft edge; advance options; then select reset. The other think I did was uninstall Intel Optain pinning if installed.
I have been looking for solutions to this for a month. I tried every recommendation (you know them you've tried). I was noodling around saw these decided to do what I recommended and BAM!, chrome loads instantly.
Hope this helps and works for you.
