Microsoft working on fix for machines and suggests temporary solutions to bug caused by installation of April 2018 updateThe new Windows 10 April 2018 update is causing apps such as Google’s Chrome browser and even Microsoft’s own Cortana virtual assistant to freeze and lock up computers. Microsoft acknowledged the problem and said that it was working on a fix, planned to be released on 8 May. “Some devices may hang or freeze when using certain apps, such as Hey Cortana or Chrome, after installing the Windows 10 April 2018 Update,” said a Microsoft agent on the company’s support forums. Reports were filed about the bug by Microsoft’s Windows Insider public testers a month ago. Microsoft was also forced to delay the release of the April 2018 update right at the last minute when a serious bug was found that caused machine crashes.
