### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- Chrome os is entirely crashed when you press the shortcut key combination **(ctrl w).**
- Typing in, clicking on, or simply lingering a mouse cursor over a 16-character URL can crash Google's Chrome browser. The flaw will either crash individual Chrome tabs or the whole Chrome browser.
- There are two ways :
- Press search + esc this will open the taskmaster, click on the second highest item then click end process you screen will go black for about 1.5 seconds then it will recover what you where doing.
- Type into chrome chrome:/reset
