I think Chrome is poorly written with the way it opens threads (at least the version I have). It may not like Windows 10 at all.
Chrome is poorly written but I just opened and used it in Win 10 and it was just fine.
I wouldn’t suggest switching to a linux box just to accommodate a browser.
I have g-mail as well, but Chrome is full of potential exploits.. Use edge, and make your g-mail account a favorite link or pin it to the taskbar. I dumped chrome a couple years ago..I still use firefox for some stuff..
