Windows 11 systems are automatically breaking and blocking Google Chrome as it is triggering a Microsoft safety feature.
Microsoft has a parental control and safety feature called « Microsoft Family Safety » which allows users to create safe spaces for their family members for browsing the web by setting up filters so as to block and filter inappropriate content and limit browsing to kid-friendly and family friendly content.
However, as it turns out, following Chrome version updates 137.0.7151.68, 137.0.7151.69, Google’s web browser is getting automatically blocked by Microsoft Family Safety as affected users have reported that the browser will automatically close or crash and then fail to reopen. Thus if you are using Edge, you get the green signal from the Family Safety app, but not if you are using Google Chrome.
The issue seems to be affecting mainly Windows 11 devices but Windows 10 or macOS may be affected too.
