Why Is reCAPTCHA Not Working In My Browser?
How to Fix reCAPTCHA Not Working?
The easiest way to get reCAPTCHA to work again is to update your browser. According to Google, reCAPTCHA isonly supported on the latest versionsof Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Restarting your browser, PC, router, and using antivirus software are some good general practices for most errors. Once you’ve checked these off your list, let’s get right into the details for how to fix reCAPTCHA not working in Windows.
For desktop users (Windows, Mac, Linux), reCAPTCHA supports the two most recent major versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Chromium Edge, and Safari browsers. If you haven’t updated in a while, the process to do so is very simple.
Remove Problematic Browser Extensions
Extensions, plug-ins, and add-ons can take your browsing experience to the next level. But buggy ones can also interfere with the browser’s normal functionality.
If reCAPTCHA stopped working around the time you installed a new extension, you should try disabling or removing it. Once you do, restart your browser and check for changes.
Reset Browser Profiles and Settings
Browser profiles store search history, bookmarks, passwords, extensions, and other settings. A corrupt browser profile can stop reCAPTCHA from functioning properly. Unlike Chrome, Firefox and Edge, Safari doesn’t have individual browser profiles. So this fix doesn’t apply to Safari users.
If resetting browser profiles doesn’t work, you should try resetting your browser to factory settings.
