Google Chrome is "disappearing"

Windows 8.1, Chrome has been running just fine for months. Now, for the past week, when it launches, it appears on the taskbar but I can't see it on the monitor anywhere. It's like it's running minimized. Or it thinks somehow that there's a second monitor and it's showing on that monitor. (This computer has never had a second monitor.)

I have rebooted the machine.

I have killed all instances of Chrome in Task Manager, and re-launched it.

I've tried launching it from the actual chrome.exe beneath Program Files\Chrome\Application (I think)

I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it by re-downloading it.

Suggestions? Thanks

Hi Dwight,

Glad you got it fixed. Have a good day.

No, it's not fixed yet.

It's just that the customer is in a semi-distant location and I haven't been able to get to the computer yet to try these solutions.

"I wonder if this happens when I run CCLEANER and some setting is altered that should not be."

Yes, CCLEANER is the likely cause.
