How to Fix Google chrome.exe The application failed to initialize properly 0xc0000142

Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google. It is fast and supposed to be stable. But if you are getting The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142) message try these workarounds.

You can either use the --no-sandbox or --in-process-plugins switch when launching Google Chrome. Both should fix the crashing problem but there is a huge difference between this 2 switches as each has its own pros and cons, so you should decide yourself which option is more important for you.

You can either use the --no-sandbox or --in-process-plugins switch when launching Google Chrome. Both should fix the crashing problem but there is a huge difference between this 2 switches as each has its own pros and cons, so you should decide yourself which option is more important for you.






By default Google Chrome enables Sandbox security. Using the --no-sandbox option leaves your computer more vulnerable to flaws or security exploits on those pages.

As for the --in-process-plugins, by default, Chrome runs plug-ins in separate processes from the browser itself. An advantage of doing this is if a plug-in crashes, it won’t cause the entire browser to crash. So the --in-process-plugins switch tells Chrome to run plug-ins in the same process as the browser. This switch is more suitable for users who is not able to determine if the website they visiting is dangerous or not.

Here is how to run Google Chrome with these switches.

1. Make sure you close all running programs.

2. Right click on the Google Chrome icon at your desktop or Start Menu and select Properties.

3. Go to the Shortcut tab if you’re not already there, add the switch at the end of the target. By default the last character is double quote, so you’ll need to add a space then followed by --no-sandbox OR --in-process-plugins. Do take note that there is two dashes.
