  1. Chrome and Firefox won't open, but Edge will


    Chrome and Firefox both suddenly stopped opening. I click the shortcuts and nothing happens. Restarting the computer sometimes allows Chrome to open momentarily before closing. I ran malwarebytes and Bitdefender scans and both showed my system as clean. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled both browsers with no change. Edge works fine, which makes me believe Microsoft is preventing me from using these browsers.

  3. Chrome and Firefox not opening after Windows update.

    Somehow chrome & firefox have appeared in the list of forbidden aplications in family panel of Microsoft account.

    That's why these apps were closing just after you have opened them.

    Removing chrome & firefox from that list solves the problem.

    Have a nice day.

    Microsoft Family Features blocking Chrome and Firefox

    How do I make it so it doesn`t do this? I have already removed myself from my Microsoft family and it still won`t let me access firefox or google chrome.
