How do I close all Chrome windows on my computer?

To close all Chrome windows on your computer, click the three vertical dots ("⋮") in the upper-right corner of any Chrome window, and then select "Exit." This will close all open tabs and windows.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Using the Chrome Menu: This is the most straightforward method.

  1. Look for the three vertical dots ("⋮") in the top-right corner of any open Chrome window. This is the Chrome menu.
  2. Click on the three dots to open the menu.
  3. Scroll down to find the "Exit" button. Click it. Chrome will close all open windows and tabs.

• Using Keyboard Shortcuts: Keyboard shortcuts offer a faster way to close Chrome.

  • Windows: Press Alt + F4. This will close the currently active window. If Chrome is the only application open, or the last one you close, it will shut down completely. If multiple Chrome windows are open, you'll need to repeat this process until all are closed.
  • macOS: Press Cmd + Q. This shortcut quits the Chrome application, closing all windows simultaneously.

• Using the Task Manager/Activity Monitor (Force Quit): This method is useful if Chrome has become unresponsive or is not closing properly.

  • Windows:

    1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager.
    2. In the "Processes" tab, locate all Chrome processes (usually named "Google Chrome").
    3. Select each Chrome process and click the "End task" button. This will force Chrome to close.

  • macOS:

    1. Press Cmd + Spacebar to open Spotlight.
    2. Type "Activity Monitor" and press Enter.
    3. Find any Chrome processes in the list.
    4. Select each Chrome process and click the "X" button in the toolbar, then choose "Force Quit."

• Shutting Down Your Computer: As a last resort, shutting down your computer will also close all open applications, including Chrome. However, this is not the recommended method unless Chrome is unresponsive and you're unable to close it using any of the previous methods.
