Google Chrome crashed then I had reset wiping out 5 months of bookmarks and settings
 

This morning my computer went cuckoo. The scroll bar was going crazy, my cursor was jumping all over, and I opened and closed it a few times but no luck.

Then I went to restart my computer and it asked to update and restart. When it reopened it acted a little strange.

I entered my PW and Google Chrome said it needed to reset as an EXTENSION caused an issue. Possibly Skype

I clicked OK and expected a simple restart. It restarted, then asked me to sign in, and then asked to SYNC and someone the God Damn thing wiped out ALL my bookmarks even on the bar, all my setting back to scratch and like I never had it. :deevee:

I've searched for a backup file that everyone claims is in a file folder and after 4 hours I cannot find it.

I lost between 160-200 Bookmarks from my new company including 60 Linkedin profiles of prospects, 40 research links, 20 competitors, 50 Phoenix based organizations, prospects and other things. :deevee:

My last saved Chrome bookmarks were from June.

WHAT A CLUSTER****!!!! :cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss:

I can't even begin to guess how many hours of work I've lost and what it will take to rebuild.

God damn sync between my personal and business I think killed it.

This signing into the Browser and signing into your email accounts and linking one but not needing to link the other and how they sync is so freakin confusing!!!! :#

I'm besides myself...............:(

If you're signing in with a Google account, then your bookmarks are saved on Google's servers, not just the local computer. Take a breath. Sign out. Sign back in and make sure you're using the correct Google account.

Also... there's a forum for this, dope.

WHAT ABOUT THE PORN???

LMAO

It's super easy to export bookmarks and either save them or email the file to yourself.

Also, if the data on your C Drive is of utmost importance, you need to use a program like Paragon Backup & Recovery to clone your System drive and save the image on another drive, so that you can easily re-load it, usually in minutes, if you're using an SSD.

Wasn't the issue bookmarks are all gone. Not in the cloud-tried logging in with both accounts. Also went to bookmarks.bak and not there.

A giant reset - wiped out my starting pages and all my settings
Not my first rodeo

I used to save my bookmarks once a month just exporting them as a simple HTML file from Chrome. Works easy peasy. Hadn't done so since July and of course I paid dearly.

You don't need to go through too much.

Also can save it the Google cloud.

Looks like my bookmarks were just local and I wasn't logged into Chrome, just into my two email accounts and they were linked so when I signed into Chrome Browser with my work ID and PW there were no bookmarks and it synced everything to those settings, going back to zero.

I re-imported my bookmarks from July but I lost all my new job stuff.

Sorry, I don't believe you. Chrome doesn't simply delete bookmarks no matter what. Certainly not from the things you're claiming you did. That just doesn't happen. I know how the program works in most platforms. I'm guessing you just don't understand how to recover it.

I use Opera: Chrome but better.

From my experiences with Chrome: I'm with fish on this one...

How'd that rodeo go?

I guess we won't be seeing this anymore

good grief, I feel your pain man. that's the thing I hate most about computers and all the info stored on discs, clouds etc. been there, done that.

though the other month I had some weird bug with Chrome, it just wouldn't start. after I reinstalled it everything was in its place though I did nothing to save bookmarks and stuff. just weird

not saying this is the OPs issue, but Chrome most certainly does barf sometimes.
