Malwarebytes released a fix for a known issue breaking Google Chrome on its customers' systems after installing the Windows 11 22H2 KB5027231 cumulative update released last week.
Malwarebytes has now fixed the conflict with the Chrome web browser on up-to-date Windows 11 systems.
"This fix enables Chrome as a protected application for all Windows 11 devices but does not apply our Anti-exploit code to all Chrome processes," the company says.
As BleepingComputer further reported last week, the same Windows 11 update would also break Google Chrome on systems protected by Cisco and WatchGuard EDR and antivirus solutions.
While a fix is yet to be released by Cisco and WatchGuard, affected customers are advised to toggle off anti-exploit protection or set Chrome as the default web browser from Settings > Select Default Browser to revive the web browser on impacted Windows 11 systems.
