The major reason behind this issue is the popular anti-malware software Malwarebytes. Even though it can do its job pretty well, it is still known to conflict with other third-party apps from time to time. This time, the newest OS update has given it the perfect platform for creating havoc on the browser from Google. For rectifying this issue, you will need to stop Malwarebytes from carrying out its functionalities on Google Chrome. Here is how you can do that –
- Launch Malwarebytes and go to Settings -> Security
- Then, head over to Exploit Protection -> Manage Protected Applications
- After that, turn off Google Chrome and its plugins before clicking on “Done”
Malwarebytes has officially rolled out the fix for the underlying issue. For applying this fix, you will first have to update to the Component version – 1.0.2047 and Malwarebytes version – 4.5.31.270. Once it is done, you should go to Settings -> About -> Check for Updates and then download and install the available update straight away.
