Chrome gets suspended even after total deletion and uninstall of chrome followed by a reinstall

Chrome gets hung after full uninstall and reinstall. The task is suspended and chrome can only be restarted after a reboot.

Remove all Chrome Extensions.

Uninstall Chrome.  

Restart, install just Chrome and then test.

Do you mean uninstall extension temporarily or permanently?
Certainly remove the extensions now, uninstall, restart and install Chrome.  Then if all is well, try installing the extensions you need.

I uninstalled and removed everything and I got rid of the extensions that it offers after reinstall and all I added was adblock plus and lastpass. It crashes much less frequently now but it still gets suspended after a time. Getting rid of the default add ons seemed to help.

It hung with no extensions also
Chrome really should work fine on Windows 7, 8 and 10. I have it here running well on Windows 10.

Consider doing an operating system repair install and see it that helps.  

What operating system are you using?

I have 10. However, it's not worth it to me to do a repair install at this time. I shut down Chrome as soon as I have finished a session and it seems to be stable over a short duration
I think perhaps you do not understand what Repair Install for Windows 10 does.

Windows 10 is running, so click on the Download button (not Upgrade Button, select Save.
Create a USB Windows Installation key and then run Setup on the USB Key.
This will launch the Repair and proceed normally.   Use the Keep Everything options

It is mostly just watching paint dry.  It takes 2 to 3 hours (depending on Internet speed and computer speed) and leaves the computer just like you had it. Nothing lost.
