Chrome, Edge & Firefox, all crash and the OS becomes unresponsive, I can't recover it unless I shutdown.

Anyone else seeing this?

Update:

A temporary solution is to use recommended display resolution or change to MS basic display driver.

Known issues

[NEW] We’re investigating reports that some Insiders are experiencing freezes when using the browser and certain other apps after the previous Dev Channel flight.

Update:

I added build 25290 to the tiltle because even though the blog calls it fixed, some users are still experiencing this bug.

    For some tests with an external screen with the Lenovo Yoga laptop I just use a standard TV, I have a small Lenovo Adapter from USB-C to HDMI. 😉

    I too used to use my TV but it's an old 42" plasma without HDMI and I don't have an HDMI to VGA adapter.

    Even if I had one, I doubt it would display at high resolution.

    We'll see what happens next week.

    Upvote CK FBH, I don't know how they could screw up such basic functionality like screen resolution.

    So much for MS internal testing! 🤣😝 🤷‍♂️

    Maybe they all use the same screen resolution. 🤣

    Most likely the defaults, for HD 1920 x 1080 and UHD 3840 x 2160.

    I had a couple of older screens with different resolutions, but not anymore, they all ended up at Good Will with the older computers. 🤣🤷‍♂️

    Hi fg,

    I borrowed a monitor, using 1920 x 1080 via HDMI and everything is working normally.

    The built-in HD Graphics 520 doesn't output via HDMI using the MS driver. 🤷‍♂️
