Key notes
Microsoft released quite a few Windows 10 post-RTM build for insidersover the years, but they are still far from bug-free.
Reportedly, a lot of users of Google Chrome who are testing the latest build said that the browser just crashes, for no particular reason.
Why is Chrome crashing all the time?
According to various reports, the 64-bit version of Google Chrome doesn’t work in particular Windows 10 build versions. On the other hand, the 32-bit version works just fine.
You can try it yourself, just run the 64-bit version of Google Chrome, and you’ll probably get a crash report and a bunch of error messages.
So, why does this happen? Google Chrome uses a special technology calledsandbox, which isolates the browser’s processes in order to reduce the vulnerability of the browser and reduce the chance for malicious software to get to your computer.
Cutting through the noise, it looks like the sandbox is breaking in the Win10 10525 previews for 64-bit Chrome, said Justin Schuh, a Google software engineer, in one of his messages on the Chromium bug tracker.
We will be listing several solutions for this issue in the article below. Know that these solutions will also work if you are experiencing the following problems:
How can I fix Google Chrome crashes on Windows 10?
1. Disable sandbox
This should restore the functionality of Google Chrome in Windows 10, but it takes some risks with it.
Namely, when you disable the sandbox feature of your Chrome browser, it willbecome more vulnerable, and potentially malicious content will find an easier way to enter your computer through the Google Chrome browser.
But, if you don’t want to mess with your security in the Chrome browser, you can switch to the 32-bit version, or maybetry another browser, until Microsoft comes up with the solution.
And, since this issue is now widely reported, I’m sure that Microsoft’s developers will start working on the solution, along with the fixes for other bugs.
If you have any other Windows 10-related issues you can check for the solution in ourWindows 10 Fixsection.
2. Try out a different browser
If Google Chrome continues to have stability issues, then one solution would be to simply switch to a different browser until you manage to fix it.
One particular browser that is extremely stable isOpera One. It shares many features with chrome, such as the Chromium engine, and therefore the equally-large library of extensions.
Additionally, it is extremely fast and lightweight, while still managing to provide some much-needed tools, such as a tracker-blocker, an ad-blocker, a full-fledged VPN and even an AI.

3. Additional solutions
There you go, these are just a couple of solutions that can help you if Google Chrome is crashing on your PC.
