How to Recover Deleted Chrome History

If you mistakenly deleted your Chrome browsing history and have lost all of your important Chrome bookmarks you be at a complete loss thinking about how to get them back. This can sometimes occur even from the most innocent-seeming processes like losing your Chrome history after updating Google Chrome. 

Luckily, all of these complex Chrome history loss problems can be fixed. Three methods will be detailed in this article: EaseUS software offers an effective, easy-to-use solution to find and recover your deleted Chrome history. Additionally you can use a built-in Windows tool or a tool in Google Chrome itself to recovery your history. 

Solution 1: Use DNS Cache to recover deleted Chrome browsing history

Keep your computer connected to the internet and do not shut down or restart your computer after you lose your Chrome history. Follow the next steps to access your deleted Chrome browsing history by using DNS now:

• Step 1:Press Windows + R, type cmd and click OK. Or, you can also type cmd in the Windows search bar.
• Step 2:Open Command Prompt, type ipcongif /displaydns and click Enter.

Once you complete these steps, all your recently visited websites will be displayed. You can view all of your recent browsing history on Chrome, and copy & paste the important websites into Chrome where they will be saved once more. 

This solution, however, will only show your recent browsing activity and will not be able to recover your full Chrome history, unlike the next two solutions.
