I cannot shut down google chrome processes as they keep re spawning, even I do not use any services and notifications. I only give a crap about web browsing. Any ideas?

Find the biggest one, and kill that.
It's normally the "master" instance, and the others are web pages and extensions etc. - and the extensions do often get re-opened when they are closed. Cut off the head, and the rest will close as well.

I find it's also a matter of timing...if you do it fast enough, you may be able to kill them all before another gets respawned.
Failing that, time to fire up PowerShell and write a small script that identifies the processes by name, and kills them all as fast as it can. That might be the better solution in the long run (assuming Google doesn't come to its senses and stop doing that).
[Edit]
This should do it:
Get-Process -Name chrome | Stop-Process

I could not update Chrome to latest version until I rebooted my machine. If that did not work, I was going to reinstall per Google's recommendation for the error message I was getting.
All good now.

Download the new Microsoft Edge based on Chromium[^]
All of the Edge Chromium binaries are Microsoft signed. With code integrity guard (CIG) and validate image dependency integrity (VIDI) policies enabled you can ensure that the executable and all dynamic linked libraries are Microsoft signed and trusted. With these policies enabled the browser process will refuse to load anything that is not Microsoft signed.

Settings ⇒ Advanced ⇒ Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed
chrome://settings/?search=continue+running+background+apps
Make sure that's turned off.

also check in the Task Scheduler,
there's usually 2 - 3 entries for chrome - set to auto restart if it detects they exit.
including one that checks for updates every 10 minutes (something stupid like that) as well as at user login and possibly machine start too.
(...and when chrome starts guess what's the first thing it does?)
- sure "safety" but that's just paranoid, and that's from the people that wrote it!

In the nude?  Do you want all people in the street to start screaming in horror?

Nah, but you were the one complaining it didn't work the first time.
Well, now you've got the knowledge. Use it as you please!

Just do what everyone else does....post in QA; "How to convert this to LINQ?"

Yeah, I've walked in to more than one place where the had their sprocs loaded with business logic (some > 2000 lines in a single SP). This always made me cringe.

Maybe you should consider re-tiring?
(Winter is soon over, and I am certainly planning to re-tire my car to summer tires again.)
