You may have Accessibility Features enabled unexpectedly; turning off the Windows 10 "Text cursor indicator" might get you back up and running as expected, for example.

Nov 11, 2021Thank you! I've gotten this in front of the team and they confirmed this is a known Chromium bug relating to accessibility features. The fix is set to go out tomorrow with Canary 1073, so if you could let me know if you're still hitting this tomorrow after you get the update (and drop a new crash report if you do still encounter it) I'll follow up with the team!

I've forgotten about this. But, Canary is still not loading the pages it is set to load at startup. Still just loading the new tab page, but now I can use it again.. 🙂 . Hopefully tomorrows fix will take care of it all...
Thanks for the workaround reminder...

If tomorrow's fix doesn't get the correct pages loading again I'll follow that one up separately! Thanks for confirming the workaround works for you 😃
