Google started rolling out Chrome OS 86 on the stable channel earlier this month, featuring flags for menu icons, back-forward cache, security improvements, and more. Shortly after the initial rollout began, Google introduced new accessibility features for the visually impaired in Chrome OS 86. But while the update is yet to make its way to a vast majority of Chromebooks, Google has reportedly paused the rollout due to unknown reasons.
As per a recent Chrome Unboxed report, the Chrome OS 86 stable rollout has been halted abruptly and Google has released no information regarding this decision. The Chrome OS Releases blog doesn’t shed any light on the matter, but the Chrome OS release matrix website now lists Chrome OS 85 as the most recent stable channel version for a majority of supported devices.
It’s worth noting that Google recently discovered a vulnerability in Chrome’s memory system in version 86. However, the company promptly released a patch to address the security bug. This leads us to believe that the vulnerability isn’t the reason behind Google’s decision to pause the rollout. Chrome Unboxed speculates that the update has been paused as users have reported facing a number of issues, ranging from Family link login errors to Play Store app crashes, following the update.
As of now, it isn’t clear when Google will resume Chrome 86 rollout for the remaining devices. In case you’ve already updated to Chrome OS 86 and are facing issues on your device, you can roll back to version 85 by using the Powerwash and Revert feature.
