Why is Chrome Crashing on Windows? The Surprising Culprit

Google Chrome users have been facing unexpected crashes on Windows, and the issue might not be what you think. It turns out that Microsoft's Family Safety feature is the hidden cause behind this problem. This problem started last month, causing Chrome to crash right after opening. It affected users across different devices and operating systems, including Android, Windows, and macOS. Some users thought it was due to a recent Chrome update, while others suspected ad-blockers. However, the real culprit was later discovered to be Microsoft's Family Safety tool.Microsoft Family Safety allows parents and schools to control and filter digital content. But for some reason, this tool is causing Chrome to malfunction on Windows. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to affect other browsers, suggesting that the issue is specific to Chrome. If you're using Family Safety and facing this issue, there's a simple fix. You can disable the website filter under the Edge tab or unblock Chrome under the Apps & Games section in the Windows tab. However, this is just a temporary solution. The real fix should come from Microsoft, but there's no word on when that will happen. It's worth noting that Family Safety is also available on Android, but it's unclear if it's causing similar issues there. For now, users can only hope that Microsoft rolls out a fix soon.
