    The Chromium issue has been marked as resolved, as of 2 November:  "This should be fixed in 88.0.4302.0." I believe Chrome (the Google-branded browser you very likely use), Edge, VSCode, Roblox, and probably everything you actually use, will take months to see this fix.

    Many of the applications mentioned elsewhere in this thread build on Electron (which itself builds on Chromium) -- I just checked their release history, and a few days ago they released a new major version that builds on Chromium 87 (which still has the debug.log issue). I'm not intimately familiar with the project but a quick glance at their changelog suggests that each major version of Electron stays with one major version of Chromium, and they seem to release major versions about once per quarter. So, unless I'm missing something, until February or March, Electron will ship built on a buggy Chromium.

    Folks.

    On Windows, look in the affected user's Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder and delete the debug.log file

    I got it from playing Roblox too. It freezes for a sec and then I get it on my desktop. Specs: i5 9300h, GTX 1650, 16GB RAM (I tried uninstalling and installing Roblox and Chrome, but it doesn’t help at all...)

    Sorry, this doesn't do anything.  There is no debug.log file in that folder.  Now, if you had said Desktop, that's a different story.  This is appearing on my user's desktop, with the same error message about the system cannot find the path specified.
