Google Chrome Desktop Update (25.0.1364.97 m) for Windows 8 Crashes

The Issue

Just updated Google Chrome this morning to version, 25.0.1364.97 m, and restarted my laptop. After the reboot I tried to open the desktop version of Chrome (not the App version) and all the tabs failed to load. I clicked on the Chrome settings and a blank page came up.

The Fix

I then proceeded to switch Chrome to "Windows 8 mode" by clicking the menu button and selecting "Relaunch Chrome in Windows 8 mode". 

After Chrome restarted in Windows 8 mode i then switched back to Desktop mode and all the tabs loaded properly. Even though this fixed the problem feel free to comment if you found a better way. Thanks.
