Windows parents prevent vineyards

Stop me if you hear this before: Microsoft makes it difficult to use Chrome on Windows. The perpetrator? This time, it’s Family safety feature in Windows. Since early this month, the parent’s control scale was prevented from opening Chrome. Strange, there are no other applications or browsers affected.

Redditors first I mentioned The case on June 3 (via freedom). They wrote U/Witty-Discount-2906 that Chrome crashed over Windows 11. Another user is in harmony with a correct guess. “This may be associated with parental controls,” U/Duk242 “. “I had nine students coming to see the IT office in the last hour, saying that Chrome will not open.”

A Google Engadget spokesman pointed out a statement in the community forum. “Our team has investigated these reports and identified the cause of this behavior,” the community director Ellen T. books. “For some users, Chrome cannot run it when you enable Microsoft Family Safety.”

It is strange that Microsoft did not prove the error after 17 days. (Go the shape!)

Family safety in Windows is an optional advantage of controlling parents for families and schools. It allows them to manage children’s screen time, liquidate their web browsing and monitor their activity.

There are a few solutions while we are waiting for the company to take measures. One of them is to turn off the “inappropriate site filter” in the safety of the family. However, this removes the safety feature, allowing children to run on the global internet. (WeEEE !!) The simplest solution is to move to your chrome folder and rename Chrome.exe For something like Chrome1.exe.

Send Engadget Microsoft via email to comment. We haven’t heard again, but we will update this story if we do so.

If you have installed Chrome on Windows, this error may lead to Deja Vu. Microsoft has a long history of desperate tricks to keep you on its virtual products.
