Android tablets have a problem: Chrome's not working, but Google's racing to fix it

By Source Android Central Published

Google Chrome users on various Android tablets are reporting a persistent "You can have up to 5 windows" error message that prevents the browser from opening correctly.

Key Points

  • Affected devices include the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus, S9 FE, Galaxy Tab A11 Plus, Lenovo Tab M11, and Xiaomi Pad 6.
  • The error message prevents the browser from launching, rendering the application unusable for many tablet owners.
  • Google has officially acknowledged the bug on its IssueTracker and is currently gathering device data from impacted users.
  • A temporary workaround involves uninstalling Chrome updates via the Google Play Store, though this action deletes all saved browser data.

Why it Matters

This bug significantly disrupts the browsing experience for Android tablet users who rely on Chrome as their primary web interface. As Google investigates the root cause, the lack of a permanent fix forces users to either lose their saved data through a factory reset or switch to alternative browsers.
