Bug in New Chrome OS Update is Preventing Users from Accessing Chromebooks
Recently, Android Central has reported that there is a bug in the latest Chrome OS version 91.0.4472.165 and it is preventing users from accessing their Chromebooks.
Reports say that several issues started flooding since Google pushed out the Chrome OS update today. The new update impacted users by logging them out of their Chromebook accounts, and not allowed to log back in.
However, users were able to access their notebooks with a guest account that isn’t protected by a password.
Google is aware of the problem but is yet to address the issue officially. They have pulled down the new update and there’s no record of it on the Chrome OS update chart.
Notably, earlier this month, several Chromebook users had reported issues with the Chrome OS v91.0.4472.147 that affected Linux container and CPU performance. But the update got patched up last week.
