Several users are encountering issues after installing Windows 10 Update 1903. The update is making Google chrome and other browsers crash unexpectedly. It is also tampering with Chrome’s critical security feature-Chromium Sandbox, which enables users to run apps and browser extensions safely in a virtual environment. It means that even if the user downloads any app or software, containing malware, it will remain in the Sandbox and will not infect your Operating System. But, now some users are reporting that Sandbox is not working effectively as their files are getting deleted and Chrome is crashing repeatedly after installing this update.
Error 1: Breaking Chrome’s Key Security Feature – Sandbox
Earlier, several incidents were reported by users, related to Windows 10 Updates, which only impacted various applications in Windows. However, with Windows 10 Update 1903, other developers’ software and apps are also getting affected.
Google also listed a series of issues in Chrome arising due to the installation of this latest update. Further, Chrome is not the only browser experiencing these issues. Other Chromium-based browsers including Opera, Brave, and Microsoft’s new Edge are also facing similar concerns.
In a nutshell, this update is stopping Chromium Sandbox to function properly and leaving your Windows PC vulnerable to downloads from Chrome and other browsers.
Error 2: File Deletion after Installing Windows 10 Update 1903
Worst of all, this update is also deleting files from the users’ Windows PCs. Many users are reporting unintentional file deletion after installing this update.
