The Anonymous Widower

I Have Just Been Microsofted

Since New Year  2026, I have been experiencing problems running Google Chrome on Windows 10.

Google Chrome and Windows 10, seem to get their boundaries on the screen in a twist.

I asked Google AI, this question.

Is there a problem running Google chrome on Windows that has arisen since new year 2026

I received this answer,

There is no widespread, new functional problem running Google Chrome on Windows that has specifically arisen since the new year of 2026.

However, some users may be experiencing issues due to a new attempt by Microsoft to encourage the use of its Edge browser, or existing, ongoing security update requirements and occasional compatibility issues.

• Microsoft Promotions: Microsoft has started 2026 with a new tactic to prevent Chrome downloads or steer users toward Edge through recent Windows updates. This does not impact the functionality of an already installed Chrome browser, but may present hindrances to new installations.
• Security Updates: Google frequently releases security patches to address vulnerabilities (including “zero-day” exploits that are actively being used by hackers). If you have not restarted your browser recently, you may be running an outdated, potentially unsafe version, which could lead to performance issues or security warnings.

It looks to me, that Microsoft are following Trumpist tactics of being the bully.

I will just keep rebooting my computer, as that seems to work.
