The world’s most used browser has been giving problems to some users of Windows 10 and Windows 11. Chromethat The global market share on computers dominate with more than 60%it is failing unexpectedly: just open it and shows no error messages. For those who suffer it, it is as if it had directly ceased to exist.
No warning, without solution. In Google’s official forumsdozens of users have been warning of these sudden closures since the beginning of June. The usual solutions – Reinstall Chrome, restart the system – do not work. The problem persists and, until now, there was no clear explanation.
Is Microsoft the culprit? As explained A spokeswoman for Chrome’s support team, the error is already being investigated. And the most striking thing is that the failure does not seem to have its origin in Google, but in a function of Microsoft 365 For Windows.
Everything points to Microsoft Family Safety. When this function is activated, Chrome stops working. It is not clear if it is a recent change in the browser or an error in the Microsoft tool itself.
Family Safety allows you to establish time limits in front of the screen and filter inappropriate content. It is an especially useful function for parents who want to supervise the use of the computer by their children.
A temporary solution. For now, there is no official patch. According to The VergeMicrosoft has not spoken and Google has not given more technical details either.
However, there is a way to recover Chrome: disable the filter of inappropriate websites within Family Safety. Of course, doing so implies leaving one of the key barriers to protect minors.
