Question

Google Chrome

Your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of Google Chrome.

Some features may be unavailable. Please specify a different profile directly or use a newer version of Chrome.

 

Answer 1

Most of the time, this is because you installed or used multiple versions of Chrome on you PC, resulting in the profile is overwritten. The solution is easy:

For Windows:

1. Search or find folder "X:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default"
2. Delete the file with name "Web Data". That's all.

For Linux (take Ubuntu for example):

1. cd into the "~/.config/google-chrome/Default/" directory (~ means your own home folder)
2. delete the file "Web Data". All done.
