Windows 10's April Update is making Chrome and Cortana freeze PCs

If you've experienced issues with Google's Chrome browser freezing or becoming unresponsive after installing Microsoft's Windows 10 April 2018 Update, you're not alone. Microsoft has acknowledged the problem and is working on a fix. Certain apps, including Cortana and Google's Chrome browser, may hang or freeze when using them, Microsoft acknowledged in a support post on Wednesday, as noted earlier by The Verge. A Reddit post, which became the unofficial repository for users complaining about the problem, also noted that users had had the same problem while working within Visual Studio. According to Microsoft, the company is working on a patch that it plans to ship on the next Patch Tuesday, currently scheduled for May 8. Microsoft reportedly delayed the April 2018 Update because of "Blue Screens of Death" that the update triggered.
