May be you are using wsl

Is this is the case try running chromium

/usr/bin/chromium-browser

If you get:

Command '/usr/bin/chromium-browser' requires the chromium snap to be installed.
Please install it with:

snap install chromium

Go to power shell

do:

wsl --shutdown
wsl --update

Then log bacl to wsl and:

snap install chromium
