google-chrome
I am having this problem from over a month now, no matter how nicely I shut down Google Chrome and then shut down my system, every time that I lauch Google Chrome again, it shows this message:
Google Chrome was not shut down properly
What's wrong? Why is this happening?
I am not sure if this will help as it appears you are seeing a few things in Youtube.
If you want to check that Adobe Flash is enabled correctly, type chrome://plugins/ to the address bar.
Click the + Details option to expand each section.
Look for the section on Flash and you should be able to enable/disable both the system flash (located in a shared folder) and your Chrome flash. I would recommend playing around with these options - possibly if it is causing problems, disable the Chrome flash and enable your system one.
Chrome settings on a Windows 7 machine.
I went into Settings / Advanced (in Chrome) and checked the box for "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" option. This fixed the problem for me.
Ironically, I went to this setting because another user had fixed it by UNCHECKING that option, which worked for him.
Perhaps simply changing the option causes Chrome to clean up something internally. I believe my bogus error msg began when Chrome actually DID fail to shut down correctly, and somehow the error flag got stuck.
EDIT: As of second half of 2018 the "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" option is now available in Settings > Advanced > System in Google Chrome (Windows 10).

This was just happening to me too. I found inside this file "%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences" near the bottom of the file (inside the Profile section) this line:
Once I modified the line to read "normal" instead of "Crashed" like this:
The problem disappeared.
