These tests can help determine the root cause of the following -problems. - -* Chrome fails to start -* Chrome crashes quickly after started -* Chrome starts but any tab created crashes or fails to load -* Chrome is extremely slow - -**Work in Progress** : Diagnostic mode is currently only available in the -tip-of-tree version of Chromium for Windows and in the developer channel version -of Google Chrome for Windows. Furthermore, only a small set of diagnostic tests -currently run (more are planned in the future). - -Diagnostic mode is an environment that runs a set of tests before the browser -starts. These tests vary in sophistication, from trivial checks that critical -files exist, to more complex (and time consuming) tests that test the integrity -of the key databases. Each test can pass, fail or simply be skipped if the test -is not applicable. The output should be used as as a starting point for further, -more specific, investigation and troubleshooting. - -### Privacy - -Diagnostic mode does not automatically send any information to Google. It is up -to the user to copy the text output from running diagnostic mode that they -consider appropriate and helpful for others to see. Furthermore, care has been -taken to expose little to no personal information in the diagnostic output so -that users can feel comfortable sharing it with internet help groups. - -### How to run (windows only) - -1. Make sure no instances of chrome.exe are running. Check in the - Windows Task Manager for any zombie chrome.exe processes and end - them if necessary. -2. Open a command line session (cmd.exe) -3. Change directory (cd) to the directory of chrome.exe, for example,in - Vista, regular chrome install is in C:\\Users\\<user - name>\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\Application -4. Type chrome.exe --diagnostics \[enter\] - -A second console window will open and the tests will run automatically, and you -should see something like this: - -[<img alt="image" -src="/administrators/diagnostic-mode/diagmode_wiki.png">](/administrators/diagnostic-mode/diagmode_wiki.png) - -This shows a run where all tests passed. If a test fails it will be marked with -a **\[FAIL\]** entry.
