Oddly enough, when I did the Windows 10 upgrade (I did my laptop and 
desktop at the same time) my desktop Chrome functioned as well as ever, 
but my laptop Chrome started having some odd glitches, that still aren't 
fixed.  Can't quite figure that one out, since they've both been 
regularly updated.
