The reason we are talking about Chrome is how the browser handles and displays Flash content. While other browsers tend to install Flash applications from the host system, Chrome includes this mechanism from within. When everything works stably, there is absolutely no problem, and the internal Flash installation process is always updated with each Chrome version. In a sense, there is more than one version of Flash trying to install and run in the system, and this causes Google Chrome to crash, because of wondering which Flash to handle.

But in fact, things don't always work out, because Chrome will encounter many "puzzled" cases between installing Flash of the operating system and Flash inside the browser. The result is lag, jerky screen, excessive memory usage, and all content with Flash will crash with an error message: The following plug-in has crashed: Shockwave Flash .

If you see Flash (2 Files) as shown above, this is the part we need to fix.
