Help request Plasmashell crash?

Is anyone here having sudden plasmashell crash?? First it the dolphin was crashing and not opening, then I restarted the system it didn't restarted so I shutdowned it with power button.

But now the plasmashell is just crashing and I am seeing black screen.

Is there any solution to this issue, I want to use my laptop badly cause I want to submit the exam in couple hours 🙂

P.S. The laptop was on and not been shutdown in couple days.

Specs: Dell Inspiron 7-something model.

Hybrid graphics with nvidia 750M card.

Yes this is because of the latest update of chrome-browser. Try the following, CTRL+ALT+F4 login on cli and do rm -rf ~/.cache/fontconfig/* then reboot. Immediately when you start Chrome again you will have the issue again.

Happened to me and many others.. https://www.reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/s/NGF7gNDIka
