    "100+ tabs in chrome incognito mode" first time I see this reason for not being able to restart... Perhaps you can try bookmarking all open tabs? A short Google journey seems to point at an issue with your system which is likely not easilyt resolved while keeping the system live and might even point to breaking hardware, so losing some open tabs might not be your worst problem.

  • @SaaruLindestøkke - 100 tabs in Chrome is nothing, I have hundreds, without a problem

  • Bookmarking doesn't save tab back/forward history, not to mention other valuable data like cookies, localstorage, etc. that only pertain to that certain incognito session. There is a problem with chrome developers and it's that they completely neglect the needs of power users like me, opting to spend their time to make the application more user friendly to newbies, unnecessarily changing features, often making them even worse, etc. It is comparable to the situation with microsoft. There is currently no good way to report these problems too, we must rely on third part forums like this to solve

  • our problems, and that itself comes with another set of nuances, such as lack of activity. Microsoft's own provided customer support website has an array of completely incompetent techies who regurgitate junk that won't help at you to improve their standing on the site, and chrome completely lacks a stable customer support website

  • Chrome devs have all those features in the regular mode. Incognito is a special mode where all those things are specifically NOT the point. You're expecting unreasonable things from Chrome. You need to restart in order to eliminate a very likely software culprit.
