Microsoft confirmed a bug in Family Safety causing Google Chrome and some other browsers to be blocked or crash on Windows 10 22H2 and Windows 11 22H2+, tied to web filtering and missing parental consent prompts; turning on Activity reporting restores the approval workflow. Microsoft is updating the browser block list and working on a permanent fix for the missing prompts and unintended temporary unblocking after browser version updates.
