Unfortunately, Google Chrome has compatibility issues with some windows 10 machines. No matter what you might try in order to speed up the slow loading of Chrome, it still takes a lot longer than it should. Until Google updates chrome to run better on win10... use FireFox - it loads very quickly and is also very reliable.
