It is understood that the Family Safety feature of Windows 11 will block some of the websites from children, but it is also causing problems with Google’s Chrome browser, which is the most popular (very popular) competitor on Microsoft’s edge.
The problem first appeared on Windows on June 3, when many users began to see if they could not open the chrome or their browser would crash in accordance. Restarting your computer or re -installing Chrome was not fixed, and other browsers like Firefox and Opera did not affect.
On Monday, a Google spokesman posted in the company’s community forum that he had investigated the reports and found that these cases were linked to the new feature of Microsoft’s Windows Family Safety. This optional feature is mainly used by parents and schools to handle children’s screen time, filter their web browsing and monitor their online activity.

Thankfully, it seems that there are two ways to get around this problem while we wait for Microsoft to recover, and they are both easy.
The most straightforward is to close the setting of “filter inappropriate websites”. Go to the Family Safety Mobile App or Family Safety Web Portal, select the user account, and select to disable the “Filter Inappropriate Website” below the Edge tab. However, this will remove the guards on the Chrome and let your child access any website, including which you were trying to block the first place.
If you want to maintain the guards and still use Chrome, some users have said that changing the Chrome.Ex name in your Chrome folder (for example something like Chrome 1), even though enabled the family safety feature, the browser had the opportunity to work again.
