    Hi DAGRGAMER,

    I'm Rodrigo, Independent Advisor and I will help you.

    The icon is transparent but the shortcut is still there, right?

    Follow these steps and tell if it fixes your problem:

    Right-click the shortcut > Properties > "Shotcut" tab > "Change icon..." > Select the Chrome Icon > Ok > "Ok" again (Maybe you will be prompted to provide administrator permission, just click "Continue)

    Well the problem actually went away in around 4 minutes, but what was it, was it the result of a virus?

    Hello DAGRGAMER, welcome to the Microsoft community, my name is Luiz Cruz, an independent consultant and I would be happy to help you.

    Do you use any non-Microsoft anti-virus software? If you use it I recommend that you uninstall it just for testing;

    Uninstall and reinstall google chrome:

    Access the Control Panel;

    Click Uninstall a program;

    Select Google chrome and uninstall;

    Then immediately download and install the browser again;

    Make a clean boot:

    Clean boot serves to determine whether a background program is interfering with the system or optimizing system loading.

    1. Press the Windows + R keys, type msconfig and click OK;
    2. In the System Configuration window, click on the services tab;
    3. At the bottom of the screen, check the Hide all Microsoft services box and click Disable all;
    4. Now click on the Programs Startup tab and on Open Task Manager;
    5. When loading the task manager, click on the start tab and disable all non-Microsoft programs (right-click on the program and choose disable), close the Task Manager and click OK on system configuration and restart computer if requested.

    NOTE: This procedure disables all third party services and programs. You can later, if the problem is solved in this way, selectively enable the programs and services that will start with Windows, instead of keeping all disabled. If the problem returns after activating the startup of a specific service or program, the problem is exactly in the startup of this software and it is recommended to remove it.

    Now just to check the integrity of your system, perform the steps below:

    Run the Windows repair tools:

    Press the Windows + X keys, select Command Prompt (Admin), copy and paste the commands below and press enter after each command.

    sfc /scannow

    dism /online /cleanup-image /CheckHealth

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    chkdsk /f /r /b

    Confirm with S and then Enter to schedule a disk scan. Restart the equipment and as soon as you finish, check if you agree.

    Wait for the process to finish and restart the pc;

    I hope I helped, even more!
