3. Restart your machine and check if the error message disappeared.

Solution 3: Use Another Profile:

If the two previous methods do not work, you can try using a new profile and see if it works. Keep this solution as a last resort, as you will lose all your bookmarks and favorites in this process. Make sure you have your profile settings saved in your Gmail ID so you can always re-register your profile and upload all your items without losing anything.

1. Click the profile icon on the Chrome taskbar to open your profile settings. Click Disable in front of Synchronization. Also, click Other people’s administrator and when the new window appears, select Add person.
2. After creating a new user, sign in as a user and restart Chrome. It is also recommended that you log out of your current profile so that all existing settings are deleted.

If you are using Ubuntu, you can execute the following command in the terminal to make a backup of the configuration of your existing configurations. When Chrome realizes there aren’t any, it will create a new one automatically.

cd ~/.config/google-chrome/

mv Default Default-bkp
