- Microsoft's Family Safety feature started blocking Google Chrome on Windows, causing it to close or not open.
- The issue has been ongoing for over two weeks, with no fix from Microsoft yet.
- Only Chrome is affected; other browsers like Firefox and Opera work fine.
- Renaming Chrome.exe to Chrome1.exe or disabling the 'filter inappropriate websites' setting in Family Safety can bypass the issue.
- Microsoft has a history of tactics to steer users away from Chrome, though this issue may be an unintentional bug.
