Chrome can't browse under Windows 10 Bootcamp

Hi
After installing Windows 10 in Bootcamp on a MacBook Pro model A1707 EMC3162

I can't browse with Google Chrome browser - 3 other browsers are working perfect

The Error:

When typing in any Website address - the status bar shows: 'Establishing secure Connection' and then

ERR_TIMED_OUT

I've tried:

Allowed the Chrome App in the firewall
disabled the Automatic detect... in LAN settings
Disabled IP6
Updated Chrome to the latest version.
Cleared the Cache and Cookies.
Using it in Incognito mode.
Disabled all extensions
Reset Chrome settings
Added a new user profile by adding a new user on Chrome.
Toggled the Use hardware acceleration
Changed DNS to Google Public DNS.
Deleted C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome" and "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome" manually.

Still no go... it just wont browse..... could it be a driver issue? - one that only Chrome utilize and the other browsers don't?

Anyone knows how to solve this ?

Hi Loner T

Thank you for your reply

Date are correct ...There should be No HTTP proxy involved...

Tried with fiddler... besides 200 HTTP it shows these 3 entry with 502 HTTP - dunno no why Chrome uses this - but they doesn't show up when using IE, FireFox etc. - have cleared/deleted cookies .

If three (3) other browsers work, it is unlikely to be a Network issue. Is the date-time on the Windows side correct? We can also use a tool like wireshark to look at what Chrome is trying to do at the network layer. Is there a HTTP Proxy involved where you are testing the browser?

The 502 (Bad Gateway) may also indicate an issue upstream. If you are familiar with Wireshark, I can take a look at packet captures, if it helps. Does this happen at multiple locations, over wireless vs wired connections, etc.. ?

Also, is there a specific requirement to use Chrome for a specific app/purpose?

yes to multiple locations - at work and at home - just tried the Wifi until now -

I've just plugged in a LAN cable (still slow/no go) and made a capture with wireshark (but can't attach it here)

always been using chrome as my preferred browser...but thats about to change, i guess 😀

Neither Windows nor Chrome are Apple products. It may be of value to ask your question in a Windows or Chrome help forum. FWIW, Chrome works for me in Windows 10 and Boot Camp. Try uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome. Look for third party extensions you may have installed in Chrome.

Why not fix the problem rather than abandon Chrome if it is your preferred browser. I'm sure someone in a Chrome or Windows help community could help you.
