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.

    No luck, neither in-place update or clean install are working for me.

    It was actually worse, couldn't even open Explorer or event viewer without crashing.

    Sadly, I'm gonna have to skip this build. 😥

    It didn't work, same thing.

    As soon as I open the browser the system crashes, I can't even open event viewer or take a screenshot.

    Very frustrating because I can't troubleshhot anything, I'm posting this from another restore of 25267 where everything is working normally.

    I will try an in-place update and then a clean install.

    Even more odd that it's all your browsers. Are there any other apps hitting this issue on your system?

    Hi Jason,

    Odd indeed, I have never experienced anything like it. The Store was crashing as well, could be all related to some network issue. I restored a backup of 25267 and I'm updating again, I'll keep you posted.

    Definitely not something we saw internally prior to release. We've been using this build over the holidays and that didn't come up in feedback.
