Chrome updates often help fix errors and add new features. Besides, automatic updates make you do not need to worry about your updates. However, if you want to control the time and how to install the update, you can block Chrome automatic updates according to the instructions below.
Block Chrome updates from System Configuration (system configuration)
Turning off Chrome updates via System Configuration is not a problem. You just need to open the Run command by pressing the Windows + R key combination. Type msconfig to open the System Configuration window.
Click the Services tab . At the bottom, uncheck the box that says Hide all Microsoft services . In this Services tab, you will see a range of options.
Carefully look for options that are ' Google Update (gupdate) ' and ' Google Update (gupdatem)' . Uncheck both and click Apply. Don't forget to click OK to save the settings.
Disable update directly from Registry Editor
You will also need to use the Run command in this method. Type regedit in the Run window. After the editor opens, double-click the folder ' HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE '.
Here, you will see what is installed on your computer. Find and right-click on the Policies folder and select new> key . Remember to name the key you just created as Google.
Right-click on the Google folder and select new> key . Name the new key "update". Right-click below the default option and select new> DWORD and name it 'updatedefault'. Click on the newly created option and a window will appear.
The value data box needs to be set to 0, if not, move it to 0. Click OK to save your changes. Since Chrome won't automatically update, don't forget to check for updates when you're ready to update.
Next, click the vertical dot> Help> About Chrome . If any updates are pending, Chrome will start updating itself immediately. Make sure you don't take any important action when deciding to update Chrome because you'll need to restart the browser.
