Railfan Technology > Google Earth went to sleep on my computer, anyone else?

For many years I have used and enjoyed Google Earth, including following rail lines, looking into yards, and planning trips.
I had downloaded the app and it ran  from an icon on my toolbar (not a bookmark).
Recently I upgraded it to GE pro version thinking that would perform better.
About 10 days ago it simply stopped opening on my desktop, a PC running Windows 10.
Some of the suggestions from their help FAQs say to get to GE through a Chrome link but I cannot seem to get a bookmark or other link to work.
Has this happened to anyone else?
If so how did you work around it?

Thank you

I use Google Earth Pro on a daily basis.  My desktop has Windows 10, and I’ve not experienced problems with GE Pro.  I also run GE Pro on a 12 year old desktop with Vista.  

Did you install from this link?  https://www.google.com/earth/versions/
