The update request will change color depending on how long you’re past due on an update:

Interestingly, if you leave Chrome open for long enough – we’re talking days on end – there will be a small notification in the upper right corner of the browser. It never takes long, and chances are you’ll never notice when the browser updates in the background unless something huge changes. This happens when the browser is closed and an update is available for you.

Does the browser update automatically?īy default, Google Chrome automatically performs system and security updates. It’s generally pretty important to keep your browser fully updated since security threats appear and change on a daily basis. This means that important security fixes and quality-of-life improvements are constantly being pushed to your device. On top of that, smaller updates come in between major version updates for security bugs. When it comes to ensuring Google’s browser is up to date, Google keeps consistent and updates the browser every four weeks with significant improvements. I was looking for something easy, and PDQ in this instance has totally bucked me.Google is known for very regular updates for its Android devices as well as software, like Chrome. Im not a software guy, so anythign shell or cmd or script is a bit out of my wheel house.

I saw this thread, but is unhelpful since no one put what the actually did or wrote. Simply because this has caused me SO much work now. Anyone ran into that and a way to save me some headache? A second Chrome package from PDQ that simply states "with auto update enabled" would be amazing. I reversed the auto update by simply deleting the entry it creates, but for machines that have it already installed, it doesnt seem to work that way. This is causing all my machines (most dont have to VPN for anything since we are all cloud) to be flagged by our security software for it being out of date once it is. All my 300+ machines i pushed the regular package to. I realize for some reason a lot of people dont want auto update enabled.
