This is annoying. Every time I launch Google Chrome, nothing happens.  Well, the icon for chrome shows up on my taskbar, but no window opens, I can't click on it, I can't right click and close it etc.  If I go into task manager, I see it there, and if I do a forced end task, and run it again it works fine.  The first few times it happened I thought it was just a "hiccup" or whatever fancy technical term exist for that. But i've rebooted my machine a few times, cleared the cache whatever, and it keeps happening.  Any idea what could be causing it or a suggestion to fix it? Not a huge problem, just an annoyance that everytime I go to start it, it becomes a 4 step process - start it, task manager, kill it, start it again.
 
Running Windows 8.1 FWIW, and have few extensions on Chrome - AdBlockPlus, ZenMate, GoogleCast, McAfee Site Advisor and Google Docs.
