<p>After the release of Windows 10 April 2018 update, users started reporting issues with Google Chrome browser.</p>
<p>Apparently, Google Chrome browser is freezing up for many users, but Microsoft has confirmed the issue and the fix should be included in the next Tuesday update on May 8th.</p>
<p>Along with Google Chrome freezing issues, some users reported Windows 10 lock-ups. During the Windows 10 lock-up, the system becomes unresponsive and won&#8217;t respond to any keystrokes, not even CTRL-ALT-DEL command.</p>
<p>The system can only be restarted using the restart button or it can be put into a sleep mode and once woken it will become responsive again.</p>
<p>Microsoft has replied to post in the Microsoft forum and said that the problem might also happen with &#8220;Hey Cortana&#8221; prompts. Microsoft recommends the following steps without the need to force reset or put the computer to sleep mode:</p>
<blockquote><p>Try a Windows key sequence to wake the screen. If you have a keyboard connected, simultaneously press the Windows logo key + Ctrl + Shift + B. If you’re on a tablet, simultaneously press both the volume-up and volume-down buttons, three times within 2 seconds. If Windows is responsive, a short beep will sound and the screen will blink or dim while Windows attempts to refresh the screen.</p></blockquote>
<p>Some users also reported that updating <strong>Google Chrome to the latest stable version (66.x)</strong> has fixed this issues for them.</p>
