JayDee Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Check if the Google Update service is enabled Press Windows Key + R to open Run. In the box, type “msconfig” and press Enter. Click on the Services tab. Find Google Update Services. Check it if these were unchecked. Click on Apply and OK. Restart your PC. Run Google Update Manually Chrome Update process, uses the "GoogleUpdate.exe" application to download and install Chrome updates. The "GoogleUpdate" application is located at one of the following locations on your disk: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe If you find the "GoogleUpdate.exe" application, in one of the above locations, then: Close Chrome browser. Open Command Prompt. In the command prompt navigate to the folder which the "GoogleUpdate.exe" application is located. e.g. If the "GoogleUpdate.exe" application, is located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Update" directory, type this command: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update type the following command and press Enter: GoogleUpdate.exe /RegServer Close Command Prompt window. Open Google Chrome Settings > Help > About and check if Chrome is updated. Reinstall Chrome. Locate Program & Features in the Control Panel. Uninstall Google Chrome. Delete the following folders (in bold letters) from your disk. Once done reinstall Google Chrome on your system. C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome (if your own 32bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome (if your own 64bit Windows) C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Update In case you're using an antivirus or firewall software, ensure Chrome is trusted or permitted by these programs. You can also try temporarily disabling your antivirus or firewall to check whether this determines the issue. Run a scan with malwarebytes, an anti-malware program that can find malicious software that the Chrome Cleanup Tool might not remove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayDee Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Check if you have configured Chrome to always run as administrator. This is a known issue with Google Chrome auto-updating mechanism and can be avoided by simply running Google Chrome as a normal user not administrator.

Can you tell me how to identify what is blocking googleupdate.exe? I am not an expert but IMHO something is amiss with your system? I would look into what MBAM did and why it did it, maybe then you will discover the root of this problem. Did MBAM delete googleupdate? If googleupdate is missing then chrome will generate the error you are receiving. I see where you stated that you tried to run googleupdate manually and as administrator, so I am assuming that googleupdate.exe still exists on your HDD!?1?

JayDee Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Take a look at your Antivirus and Firewall, maybe one of them is blocking googleupdate.exe. Try Stopping and Restarting it from the services. (Type services.msc in Ru ) Check the Scheduled Tasks for any error regarding googleupdate.exe. (Type taskschd.msc in Run) Navigate to the following, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ Type regedit in Run Navigate to the above path Check if a file named Google Update is present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayDee Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Create a scheduled task for googleupdate.exe. If that doesn't work you will have to update Chrome manually since we cannot help from this point on. A technician needs to check your laptop. Maybe installing a fresh copy of windows is the only solution if you badly need that automatic update to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
