Reset Chrome settings to default

Reset Chrome settings to default

You can restore your browser settings in Chrome at any time. You might need to do this if apps or extensions you installed changed your settings without your knowledge. Your saved bookmarks and passwords won't be cleared or changed.

  1. On your computer, open Chrome.
  2. At the top right, click More More and then Settings.
  3. At the bottom, click Advanced.
    • Chromebook, Linux, and Mac: Under "Reset Settings," click Restore settings to their original defaults and then Reset Settings.
    • Windows: Under "Reset and cleanup,” click Reset Settings and then Reset Settings.

These steps won't provide a full reset. For example, some settings like fonts or accessibility won't be deleted. To create a new user profile, add a new user in Chrome.

What changes when you restore your settings 

On your Chrome profile, the following settings will change to the default on all devices where you're signed in: 

Re-enable ClickOnce Extension
While we have optimized ProviderSuite for use with the Google Chrome browser, in order to launch the Billing and Scheduling applets, the following extension will need to be added to Google Chrome.

(Please note that both the Billing and the Scheduling applets will only run on the Windows 8.1 Professional or Microsoft Windows 10 operating systems. They will not work on Macintosh OS X, Windows Mobile, Android, or iOS. There is a separate ProviderSuite mobile app for Android and iOS where you can view your appointment schedule on the go.)

To add support for the ClickOnce applets to Google Chrome:
1. Open Google Chrome and go to Settings
2. Under the Appearance Sub Category Click on "Open Chrome Web Store"
3. Click in the "Search the Store" box at the top left and search for "ClickOnce"
4  Select the Windows Remix ClickOnce Helper for Google Chrome 
5. Click the ADD TO CHROME button

Once the "ClickOnce for Google Chrome" extension has been installed and enabled (you may need to close and reopen Chrome), the Launch Billing and Scheduling links will be activated within the ProviderSuite website.  Please attempt to Launch Billing once again. If the issue has not been resolved, please proceed to Verify Settings.
