Worked this problem out by moving some files from the Downloads folder into another folder inside the downloads folder. Chrome file uploads started working again after doing this.
Chrome on Windows 10 stops responding when trying to upload files

Hi, I've been having an issue where Google Chrome stops working whenever I try uploading files to a website. It opens up the list of files, and then fails to load any of them. My computer is a Surface Book 3.

2022-05-08T12:40:19+00:00 I have the same issue, not only with chrome , but also with firefox and edge. Whenever trying to attach any document in OWA the browsers will stuck. Tried clearing cookies, cache, temp, profile temp but no use. If I delete browser profile and create new, it will work for some time, after that the issue continues again.
