    What computer, what operating system?
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    It sounds like Chrome is slow to exit, so the computer thinks it might have crashed. As part of "forcing" Chrome to close, maybe it says something like "lost connection to host" (i.e. can't connect to website) before it finally closes and shuts down.

    Best thing to do is probably to close Chrome manually before shutting down.
