Antivirus Bug on Windows 10 Chromium Browsers Squashed With New Fix

▤ Summary

Google is rolling out an update for Chromium-based browsers to fix a bug that killed certain features for Windows 10 machines running antivirus software. As TechRadar reports, those using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on PCs running antivirus software or software that briefly locked new files had reported trouble using tools like bookmarks. Googles Chrome for Windows team engineer, Bruce Dawson, took to the Chromium Gerrit on Dec. 29 with details about the fix. This isnt a viable solution for many, especially for users who rely on real-time scanning features on their machines. Theres no timeline listed, but if youre experiencing these issues, keep an eye out for the latest updates.
