As is typical, the rollout of a major update doesn't go without a hitch. Microsoft delayed its Windows 10 April 2018 Update to sort out a serious issue with system crashes, but there are still plenty of other bugs. In particular, a lot of users seem to be complaining about system hangs or freezes with certain tools, including Cortana and Google's Chrome. Microsoft, Intel, and Google are looking into the matter.
The company suggests trying the Windows logo key + Ctrl + Shift + B to wake the screen or, for laptop users, opening and closing device lid, in an attempt to resolve the issue.

It's not immediately clear where the bug is hiding but developers from Microsoft, Google, and Intel are looking into it.

In a Chromium bug report thread – Chromium being the open source project behind Chrome – Yang Gu, a developer for Intel, suggests the problem is limited to those using the latest Windows 10 (version 1803) with Intel Kabylake (HD 620 and 630) chips.
