Fix available in Windows 10 cumulative update KB4284848
Since it’s the world’s number one desktop browser, Google Chrome is running on the majority of systems that have already been upgraded to Windows 10 April 2018 Update. But in the last few weeks, many reported various issues, including crashes that occurred for no clear reason.
According to the release notes of cumulative update KB4284848, this was a known bug, and installing today’s patch should fix it on Windows 10 April 2018 Update. As Microsoft explains in the changelog:
“Addresses an issue that causes the latest versions of Google Chrome (67.0.3396.79+) to stop working on some devices.”
While this cumulative update addresses a critical Google Chrome crash, there still are other browser issues that are yet to be addressed for Windows 10 April 2018 Update users.
Google Chrome is right now the top browser on the desktop, and third-party data shows that it’s installed on more than 60 percent of the PCs out there. Microsoft Edge, which is the new default browser in Windows 10, is far behind with a share of just a little over 4 percent.
The next cumulative updates for Windows 10 are projected to land on July 10 when Microsoft releases new Patch Tuesday fixes.
