Malwarebytes confirmed today that the Windows 11 22H2 KB5027231 cumulative update released this Patch Tuesday breaks Google Chrome on its customers' systems.
The company published a support article today confirming the Malwarebytes conflict with Google Chrome after installing the June 2023 Patch Tuesday updates on Windows 11 systems.
"On June 13, 2023, Microsoft's KB5027231 update installed on Windows 11 caused a conflict between Google Chrome and exploit protection, resulting in browser crashes," Malwarebytes said.
Malwarebytes users experiencing issues when launching Google Chrome can toggle off the web browser from the list of protected applications in their Malwarebytes product from Settings > Security tab > Manage protected applications.
Malwarebytes advises customers to re-enable app protection for Google Chrome once the issue is resolved in a future update.
"We're currently experiencing issues with Malwarebytes Exploit Protection and Chrome in Windows 11 where you'll see Chrome crash. We suspect this is happening due to a Windows Update that was released on June 13, 2023," Malwarebytes VP of Product Michael Sherwood said.
