Microsoft just released its Windows 10 April 2018 Update, and some people who installed it are reporting freezing or hanging after launching Google Chrome. The good news: Microsoft is working on a fix and plans to release it in a May 8 update.

Although some people report the issue after launching Chrome, ZDNet reports that Firefox, Office or Visual Studio Code may also cause freezing.
