Hi,

This issue could be related to Antivirus. I found this post in one another article. Issue is similar. Give this a try

We experienced something very similar.  For us it seemed to be something with symantec end point and either an update from them or a windows update on top of SEP.

The fix we found was

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\svdriver\Parameters

edit HookInjectionWhitelist and remove the chrome.exe line

./Jon

VMware App Volumes 4 Release Notes

Chrome fails with the "Aw,Snap!" error occurs due to compatibility issues with Chrome version or 78 and later. [2478183]

Workaround: Disable a recently activated Renderer Code Integrity security feature in Chrome. For more information about this feature, see https://cloud.google.com/docs/chrome-enterprise/policies/?policy=RendererCodeIntegrityEnabled.

the previously mentioned fix may work, but I noticed errors with it, and decided to use VMware's workaround for the time being.
