According to a recent post on Google's Chromium message board, the company seems to be aware of the problem and some developers are already working on it.

Nevertheless, affected users can post their queries and feedback by marking a star against the issue thread on the forum's message board:

We have the problem confirmed and someone is working on it, so additional "me to" comments are a distraction at this point. Please just star the issue if you want to convey that you are affected, and if we have any questions or need additional feedback we'll post a comment.

Also, please remember that this kind of temporary breakage is expected for users on the Windows 10 fast ring. So, we definitely appreciate your assistance in tracking down these problems, but if you're not comfortable dealing with disruptions and workarounds, then the fast ring might not be for you.

Meanwhile, 32-bit Chrome users can continue to run the browser without any hassles with Windows 10 build 10525.

Those running the 64-bit version of Chrome on Windows 10 build 10525 can try a temporary fix to resolve the browser crash issue (courtesy Tero Alhonen via Twitter):

@stanzillaz @rlinev @Daniel_Rubino re-re-installing didn't help but --no-sandbox did the trick. Not optimal though https://t.co/BLQRG3aKFN
