- Hover the mouse over “Help” option and select “About Google Chrome”.
- Chrome will look for available updates and install them automatically.

This indicates that you have some problems in updating to latest version. In this case, check whether you have proper internet connection and Google services are not blocked. Try to update your browser manually by going to the command URL “chrome://settings/help” in the address bar.
2. Ensure You Haven’t Disabled Auto Update
The real problem with Chrome auto update is that it does not allow downgrading to the previous version in case of issues. When there are major changes to the functionalities, you may get annoyed with the auto updated version. So sometimes people play around with Services and Registry entries on Windows PC to disable the auto update. If you have disabled auto update, enable the services and registry entries back by following the instructions in this article.
3. Check Your Internet Connection
You need to have a stable internet connection for the Chrome update to work. Remember, many countries like China completely blocks Google services. Also, some restricted networks like organizations, schools and colleges block update services. So, if you have travelled to such countries or working inside a restricted network then Chrome update will get time out. In this case, the only solution is to use VPN or connect your computer to the unrestricted network that is not blocking Google updates.
4. Restart Google Chrome
Most of the simply restarting your browser will help to resolve the update problems.
- On Windows PC, navigate the Chrome menu by click the icon (three vertical dots) at the top-right corner of the browser and click “Exit”. On Mac, go to “Chrome > Quit Google Chrome” menu.
- Launch the browser afresh and try the manual update again.
5. Enable Google Update Services
Chrome update check could fail if the Google update services are disabled in your computer. To enable the services:
- Open the Windows Run utility by pressing the “Win + R” keys, then type “services.msc” then click “OK”.
- It will open the Services Manager where you can see all the services running on your PC. Scroll down and find the “Google Update Service (gupdate)”.
- Double click on the service, then click on the arrow under “Startup type” and select either “Automatic” or “Automatic (Delayed Start)” option.
- Click “Apply” and then “Ok” button.
- This will take you back to the services window, double click on the next service “Google Update Service (gupdatem)”.
- Click on the drop-down box against the “Startup type” option and select “Manual” from the list.
- Click “Apply” button and then “OK” button to set the update service to manual startup.
- Now restart your PC and try to update Google Chrome by navigating to “chrome://settings/help” page.

- Double click on the “UpdateDefault” key and enter 1 in the “Value data” field.
- Close the registry editor and restart your PC, then check for Chrome updates.
If you did not see the “Google” folder in registry, simply create the folder and further entries to setup the value as 1.
7. Reset and Reinstall Chrome
If the above options don’t work, it is possible that Chrome app may be missing files or having corrupted files. In this case, you can try resetting the browser by going to “chrome://settings/reset” URL. This will remove all your customizations and restore the browser to factory settings. However, your bookmarks, passwords and history will be retained.
If resetting also did not help, then you can delete the app and install afresh to resolve the issue. Since this will delete all stored data, we recommend login with your Google account and sync the data in Google server before deleting the app. This will help to restore your data from Google server after reinstalling the app.
- On Windows computer, go to control panel by typing “Control” in the Windows Search and select “Control Panel” app.
- Under “Programs” click on “Uninstall a program”.
- From the list of the installed programs, click on Google Chrome and click “Uninstall” at the top of the list.
- Wait for the program to uninstall and once uninstalled successfully, restart your computer.
On Mac, you can simply drag and drop the Chrome app to Trash for deleting it. After deleting the app, go to the official Chrome website from Edge, Safari or any other browser, and click the “Download Chrome” button.
You will be prompted to accept terms and install, click “Accept and Install”. Follow the instructions to complete the installation process. It is important to ensure that your system’s features meet the requirements for the latest version of the browser.
Sometimes extensions you have installed on your Chrome can also cause problems in update. Therefore, disable all extensions in Chrome to check whether that helps to fix the problem.
Conclusion
It is important to ensure that your browser is up to date to ensure that you stay safe and secure when browsing with Chrome. Though Chrome is set to update automatically, you may need to update it manually. If updating Chrome fails, it could be due to various reasons and trying the above options will resolve the Chrome update problems.
Если по той или иной причине вы используете старую версию Chrome, отключили обновления браузера или они не работают по иной причине, вы можете начать получать уведомления справа от адресной строки с текстом «Версия Chrome устарела» или «Не удалось обновить Chrome».
В этой инструкции подробно о том, как убрать такие уведомления Chrome, а в случае, если вы, наоборот, хотели бы выполнить обновление браузера —решить эту проблему. На близкую тему: Как убрать уведомление Google Chrome о необходимости обновления Windows.
Параметры ярлыка Google Chrome
Самый быстрый способ отключить уведомления о невозможности обновления и устаревшей версии Chrome — добавить параметры ярлыка, изменяющие его поведение в части обнаружения устаревшей версии браузера. Шаги будут следующими:
- Откройте свойства ярлыка Google Chrome: правый клик по ярлыку — свойства. В случае если ярлык расположен в меню «Пуск», в Windows 11 и Windows 10 вы можете нажать по нему правой кнопкой мыши, выбрать «Дополнительно» — «Перейти к расположению файла», чтобы открыть папку с ярлыком, а затем его свойства. Если для запуска используется значок Chrome в панели задач, открепите его от панели задач, выполните редактирование ярлыка на рабочем столе или в папке ярлыков меню Пуск, а затем через контекстное меню закрепите ярлык на панели задач.
- В свойствах ярлыка в поле «Объект» после закрывающих кавычек поставьте пробел и вставьте следующую строку
--simulate-outdated-no-au="01 Jan 2199"
- Нажмите «Ок» для сохранения измененного ярлыка.
Готово, теперь при запуске браузера Google Chrome с указанного ярлыка уведомления об устаревшей версии или о том, что не удалось обновить браузер, появляться не будут.
Обычно этого способа достаточно, при условии, что вы самостоятельно отключали обновления Google Chrome с той или иной целью. Если это не так и задача — решить вопрос с обновлением и обновить Chrome, возможные решения описаны в последней части статьи.
Политики обновлений Chrome в реестре
Вторая возможность отключить уведомления о необходимости или невозможности обновления Google Chrome — задать соответствующие политики в реестре. Это можно сделать вручную, но проще будет создать reg-файл со следующим кодом:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update]
"AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes"=dword:00000000
"Update{8A69D345-D564-463C-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}"=dword:00000000
"Update{4DC8B4CA-1BDA-483E-B5FA-D3C12E15B62D}"=dword:00000000
"UpdateDefault"=dword:00000000
После создания файла «запустите» его и согласитесь с добавлением данных в реестр. В итоге будут отключены обновления Chrome и проверка доступности обновлений, что обычно решает и проблему с уведомлениями «Версия Chrome устарела» или «Не удалось обновить Chrome».
При использовании этого способа дополнительно рекомендуется отключить задания Google Update в планировщике заданий: Win+R — taskschd.msc и последующее отключение заданий (например, с помощью контекстного меню) Google Update в разделе «Библиотека планировщика заданий».
Обновление или переустановка Chrome
Если задачи отключить обновления Chrome нет, при этом вы наблюдаете рассматриваемые в статье уведомления, причиной может быть:
- Устаревшая операционная система, например, Windows 7 или 8.1. Решений для этой ситуации, кроме обновления операционной системы я предложить не могу.
- Что-то, мешающее подключению к серверам Google для обновления: неправильные дата и время на компьютере, использование прокси и VPN, блокировка в файле hosts, вмешательство стороннего антивируса в работу сети (попробуйте отключить функции защиты сети), неправильное разрешение имен серверов DNS-сервером (попробуйте изменить DNS-сервер на 8.8.8.8 и 8.8.4.4), работа вредоносных программ.
Во втором случае правильнее всего будет разобраться в проблеме, но, если это не удалось, можно попробовать скачать оффлайн-установщик Chrome, запустить его и выполнить установку актуальной версии браузера.
