Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

It's hard to imagine how nor have we had any other reports.  If it is not impacting your use of either app, we would consider it a false positive at this time.

If that changes (more reports or that you see that it is impacting either app negatively) we would look at it with more scrutiny.

This seems relevant from Chrome development 

Chrome dev here. This is related to a new feature that aims to prevent third party software from injecting into Chrome's processes and interfering with its code. This type of software injection is rampant on the Windows platform, and causes significant stability issues (crashes). The Microsoft Edge browser already does this kind of blocking, and we are in the process of making Chrome behave similarly. What you are seeing is the warning phase of year-long effort to enable blocking, originally announced in November 2017.

Since it is effectively impossible for Chrome to automatically determine whether any particular piece of software is innocently injecting or purposefully injecting and interfering with Chrome code. To keep things simple we warn about all injected software, without making value judgments. Note that soon we will actually start blocking software from injecting, at which point this warning will cease to show. Note that you should only be seeing these crashes if you manually navigate to the chrome://settings/incompatibleApplications page, or on a startup after the Chrome browser has crashed.

Additionally, this feature is currently considered experimental so not all users will see these warnings.

I have the same problem

Please read two reply above you. Reply #4 and #5' That should answer your questions.

The way I read this is that at sometime in the future, Chrome may provide a "whitelisting" feature for programs that you "know" to be safe - i.e.; Stardock and therefore stop the warning/remove screen from appearing.   For now it appears that since this only comes up when you first launch Chrome, you can choose to ignore it and just close the tab.  I'm not sure if I'm reading the article correctly as to whether Chrome will actually interfere with the operation of programs that they find incompatible.  It looks as if they will block any program in real-time that actually tries to "inject" code into Chrome's operation.  

I had the same issue yesterday
I wasnt sure who'm to trust anymore..
But then again i never trusted google in the first place...

You see.. Now this is one of those reason why i stopped using chrome. I have been using firefox from the beginning and it never failed on me.. Google Chrome starts to be sounding malicious to me.. I only use chrome to watch youtube on it.. Because the engine of youtube is made that way that it works better on google chrome..

Ignore it, Start10 is not responsible for any Chrome crashes."

Google is just going to have to make some changes as the net of apps its flaggins is not limited to Start10.

My solution was to remove Chrome as it's flagging most AV solutions & on my friends PC Adobe programs also - I have installed Opera which is Chromium based doesn't check what software you have & report back to 'Google Towers'. Although I've used Opera many years ago I was really surprised as to how good it is, takes me ten mins from install to get it looking how I want. A few others I know have now moved to Opera, problem solved

From my reading it seems Google feel any programs/apps that may inject into Chrome (may) cause lack stability & security issues? I would think that a PC that has had it's anti-virus system removed will become even more unstable when inhabited by malware. I just does not make any sense, again from my reading the list of programs that 'may' cause instability to Chrome was complied arbitrary anyway.

I still feel the issue is the list of programs that Chrome will suggest you uninstall & they (Google) provide the means to do so in a browser pop-up up was complied arbitrary (subject to individual will or judgment without restriction; contingent solely upon one's discretion)  so programs Google suggest you uninstall may never have caused issues & potentially does not inject harmful code into Chrome.

I've read many posts very similar to the one above on several sites by 'ivancamp' & if the list of programs had been compiled by programs known to cause programs fair enough, but that is not the case. For me few other companies associated with Windows products if any could have gone around this issue as Google has, ie: uninstall all programs we feel could cause our browser problems if Chrome crashes, even if the program is the single AV solution on the PC. For me & in IMO that is bulling of the highest order.

It's not whether I'm okay, many people are in a computing environment that is dictated by necessity.  Start10 isn't necessary it's personal preference for me, my Admin doesn't care that I hate how Windows 10 looks.  I also don't understand why a representative of a company wouldn't at least show some concernfor the opinions of a paying customer, I want this warning to go away, I want Chrome to stop closing because of it, I plead my case to Google support and I did the same here.  Looking in to how to fix this on your end would at least be a fiscally beneficial concept considering there are as of August 2018 over 2 billion installs of Chrome.
