Continual spinning wheel, ameven after force quit programmes and apps

My desk top Mac has a continual spinning wheel when I use google chrome and other search engines. Ine closed all programmes and background apps but it seems to make very little difference.

I can’t really use it at the moment.

my family use this computer as well, so I don’t know what I can do to ‘clean up’ and restore its use .

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

May have to use Safe Mode to get it...


Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.
