Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open chrome
2. it tries to open but then doesnt
3. go to task manager end 1 of the 2 processes then chrome launches

What is the expected behavior?
fro chrome to open when i click on it. 

What went wrong?
when ever i go to open chrome it doesn't open. If i then go in task manager and end 1 of the processes so chrome.exe (some times one with the highest memory use) chrome then opens. Some times doing this has no effect and chrome will just not open. 

Did this work before? N/A

I'm a technical consultant so know my way around a computer. 
I have tried various fixes. uninstall/reinstall, uninstall, remove from registry (in regedit) then reinstall. 
I have even tried installing the canary version but still get the same problem.
I've also turned off firewall and anti virus - which id expect to be the normal culprit.. but still get the issue. 

Any ides? :)
