Microsoft is aware that some devices running the Windows 10 April 2018 Update (version 1803) may hang or freeze when using certain apps, such as “Hey Cortana” or Chrome. Microsoft Answers forum moderator Lonnie_L drops yet another shoe : Chrome is probably just the most-used app on Windows. The bug isn't even limited to Chrome, it effects others apps such as Outlook and Word 2016, and other users found it in Firefox etc. I saw on reddit that some insiders came across this bug a month ago. Intel has released new HD Graphics drivers, but they don’t seem to fix the problem. Scrolling through the problem list on that Reddit page, there are reports of all of these products freezing under 1803:

My issue is on a clean install on a Yoga 920 with drivers downloaded from Windows Update… Bug may be related to hardware acceleration… The ONLY way to gain back control is to make the computer sleep by pressing the power button on my laptop, then reawakening. As reported by TheCuteCat on Reddit :Įverything freezes, keys don't work, Ctrl Alt Delete doesn't work. There’s a great deal of confusion at the moment as to which build’s on first and who’s on second, but as best I can tell, 17134.1 is the 1803 neophyte’s build, 17134.5 belongs to the Insiders, and the official Win10 update history page still doesn’t say squat.

But those who upgraded directly are still on 17134.1. Which build is which?Īt this point, the folks who came along from the Windows Insider beta process are on build 17134.5, released April 27. Truly, the 10 million users in the Windows Insider Program (present company included) aren’t enough. You have to wonder who’s testing this stuff. I’m not so surprised by the usual problems – bad drivers, stuck installs, upgrade failures – but the number of conflicts with Microsoft’s other products takes my breath away. The new version of Windows 10 has been out for less than a week, and those who welcomed it with open arms (and the unfortunate seekers who got stuck ) are starting to feel the burn.
