How to fix RESULT_CODE_HUNG error in Google Chrome

 So let's look at the possible causes and help you solve the problem right away.

1. Check Internet Connection

There is a chance that Chrome shows a RESULT_CODE_HUNG error due to a problem with the Internet connection. Even if your computer shows that you are connected to the Internet, check your connection speed, as slow Internet can cause errors.

Also, try restarting your router using the correct method or switching to a different network.

If your Internet connection is fine, copy and paste the URL into another browser. If the site doesn't load, there may be a problem with that particular site. In this case, there is nothing you can do but wait.

2. Update Google Chrome

If you missed the latest Chrome update, you might be dealing with an unstable browser, which is why Chrome shows the RESULT_CODE_HUNG error. Even though Chrome is set up to automatically update on browser launch, there's still a chance that something went wrong during the last install update. However, you can update the browser manually.

When the update is complete, restart the browser and check if the problem is resolved. If Chrome shows an updated Chrome message, move on to the next solution.

3. Reload tab

If the problem is limited to just one website, it could be a temporary browser glitch. To fix it, click the Reload icon or press Ctrl + R on Windows or Command + R on Mac.

Similarly, you should restart your browser. Launch Task Manager, right click on Google Chrome and select End task . This way you will stop any background processes running and will have a fresh start when launching the browser.

4. Clear browser data and cache

Chrome stores cache and cookies to load web pages faster. But if the browser stores too much data or is corrupted, it may display the error RESULT_CODE_HUNG instead of accessing web pages. In this case, you should clear cookies and cache in Chrome.

Clearing your browser cookies will log you out of some websites. So if there are important websites that you need to visit, make sure you know the login information.

5. Check Browser Extensions

Sometimes, third-party extensions that are no longer supported or updated cause website loading problems. If you have a lot of extensions installed, there is a quick way to check if the extension is the culprit.

Open Chrome's menu and select Go Incognito . This way you will open a new browser window without any installed extensions. If Chrome is working as it should now, go to chrome://extensions and remove the problematic extension.

6. Reset Chrome browser settings

If this error is not Chrome's only problem, you should reset your browser. This way Chrome's settings are reverted to default, which may be enough to fix the problem.

7. Change DNS Settings

If you want to improve speed and security, and solve Chrome bugs, then you should switch to one of the public DNS servers. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open Chrome's menu and select Settings.
2. Go to Privacy & security > Security .
3. Enable Use secure DNS feature .
4. Select With Custom and choose one of the available options. The article recommends using Google (Public DNS) .
