A Microsoft agent called Jess Can said on the company's community forum that Microsoft is aware that "some devices may hang or freeze when using certain apps, such as 'Hey Cortana' or Chrome, after installing the Windows 10 April 2018 Update".
Microsoft is working on a fix and is aiming to include it in its next monthly update due out on May 8, the date Microsoft plans to push the update to more users through Windows Update.
The agent recommended users with keyboards press Windows logo key + Ctrl + Shift + B simultaneously in the event of a frozen device.
Tablet users can simultaneously press the volume-up and volume-down buttons, three times within two seconds. Laptop users can also try to close and open the lid.
