JAKARTA Microsoft blocks Chrome, Google's browser, so the app doesn't open on Windows devices. The browser is blocked through the Family Safety feature to manage online activities.

The first report regarding this blocking appeared on June 3 on the Google Help page. After the user complained about Chrome's problem not wanting to open up on his computer, some users began to complain about the same problem.

Not a few realize that their browser does not want to run like before. Other users also realized that Chrome does not want to be closed even though it has been forced to turn off or even doesn't want to be open at all.

There was no official response from Microsoft regarding this issue, but Google has investigated the root of the problem. After a few weeks, Google has just confirmed that the problem with Chrome on Windows devices is due to bugs.

This bug comes from the Family Safety feature so that only people who use this feature are affected. This bug also specifically targets Chrome because the browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Opera is not affected.

"Our team has investigated this report and determined the cause of this behavior. For some users, Chrome was unable to run when Microsoft Family Safety was activated," said the Google team that handled Chrome some time ago.

It is not yet known when Microsoft will address this problem that harms Chrome users. However, some users realize that this browser can work again after changing Chrome.exe's name to Chrome1.exe.
