Earlier this month, Microsoft’s family safety feature, mainly used by parents and schools as a set of parental control and filters, began to stop Google’s chrome browser from opening on Windows. The first reports came out on June 3, some chrome users saw whether the browser was closed or not opened.
Microsoft has introduced a bug in family safety that especially targets the chrome browser and prevents it from working on Windows. “Our team has investigated these reports and determined the reason for this behavior,” says Alan T. For some users, when Microsoft Family Safety is activated, Chrome is unable to run. “
Other browsers such as Firefox or Opera are not affected, and some users have also found that Chrome 1.Exe works around this problem to change Chrome. Schools or parents who have enabled family safety as part of Microsoft 365 subscriptions, can also disable the layout of “filter inappropriate websites” in Family Family Protection of Chrome, but enables children to access any website.
It is unclear when Microsoft will solve the problem, which has been going on for more than two weeks. We arrived in Microsoft earlier this week to comment on the issue, but at the time of publication, the company did not respond.
On June 10, the chromium engineer wrote in the Big Tracking Thread, “We have not heard anything about eliminating the fix from Microsoft.” “They have provided guidance to users who contact them how to get Chrome how to work again, but I don’t think it will have a big impact.”
