Yesterday I updated my PC, applied all Windows updates and refreshed drivers. Now I’m installing new programs. Unfortunately, Chrome stopped working after just five minutes—other browsers handled it okay. In short, I resolved the issue in regedit by adjusting a setting. This raises a bigger concern: if you need to edit the registry after a fresh OS install, should you discard everything and reinstall Windows? On one side, this was just an app problem, not a system failure, but on the other, I’m worried something else might happen. Since I’m not an expert, I’m reaching out for advice.

get accustomed to it since it's increasingly frequent with every W10 release.

Steam is experiencing comparable problems, suggesting a potential issue with the platform.

You're looking for a reliable fix beyond just reinstalling the OS. Make sure your network settings are correct and consider upgrading your router or switching to a better one. Internet issues often stem from configuration problems rather than software glitches. Some browsers may struggle with minor connection hiccups, so don't assume the problem is with Windows—check your local network setup.

It relies on the specific modification you applied to the registry. An error in how program x updates the registry isn't a problem with Microsoft.
