Since you can not know for certain what the cause of the 'unregistered class' error is in your Chrome, you should try different solutions. The following three procedures can solve the problem. So if one tip does not work, move on to the next one until you can run Chrome without the error appearing.
Deleting Some Registry Keys
Deleting some Chome-related registry keys can prevent the error from appearing. To do this, you must do the following:
First, type "cmd" (without the quotation marks) in the Windows search field. In the list of results, right-click the "Command Prompt" option. In the menu that appears, click "Run as administrator";
Running the Command Prompt as Administrator
Then, when the Command Prompt screen appears, enter the following commands in it, key in and confirm each one;
REG DELETE HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Chrome
REG DELETE HKLM \ Software \ Classes \ Chrome
REG DELETE HKCU \ Software \ Classes \ Chrome
REG DELETE HKLM \ Software \ Classes \ ChromeHTML \ open \ command \ DelegateExecute

Starting Chrome directly
Another alternative that can avoid the error is the direct execution of Chrome, using the start command. Just run the command below in the Command Prompt or run window. Do not forget to change the location if you have installed Chrome in a directory other than the default one.
start / d "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Google \ Chrome \ Application \" chrome.exe
Running Chrome directly via start command
If you prefer, you can even create a shortcut to execute the command.
Registering all DLL files
Windows DLLs can also cause the 'class not registered' error in Google Chrome. If none of the tips were to remove the error, you can re-register all DLL files to eliminate this problem.
To be able to register these files, all you have to do is run the following command at the command prompt.
FOR / RC: \% G IN (* .dll) DO "% systemroot% \ system32 \ regsvr32.exe" / s "% G"
Registering all Windows DLLs
Once all the DLL files have been registered again, you must restart your computer.
At least one of these tips will eliminate the annoying message 'class not registered' when using Chrome. If this does not happen, leave a question in the Forum explaining the details of your problem.
