Couple days ago, my Windows Update completely froze midway, forcing me to force a restart and the system has not been as stable since then. I just tried to roll back to a previous restore point and that seems to have made things worse. Now Chrome won't start at all, I'd get a "Google Chrome has stopped working" as soon as I start the application. It just crash before anything shows up.
A full system install is likely overdue but I don't have time for that right now. For the time being, I just want to re-install Chrome without losing my settings (bookmark abd plug-ins, less bothered about browsing history). Is there an easy way to do that?
And while I am at it. Wear and tear has rendered the CoA sticker on my laptop mostly unreadable (didn't notice it until just now). No idea if I wrote it down elsewhere but I suspect that I haven't. Can anyone vouch for an application to recover the Product Key from my system? Quick Google shows people suggesting Magic Jelly Bean and Belarc Advisor amongst others, but it would be nice to have some re-assurance than those are legit products.
Edit: Actually, a simple reinstall fixed the issue. But the faded CoA issue remains as it could make a reinstall troublesome. I suppose that I could just wait until the day I do the reformat, disconnect my PC before running those apps to make sure they aren't doing anything more than they should..
