To ensure Chrome automatically updates, you need to configure the Google Update settings as follows:
Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Access Google Update settings: Navigate to the relevant settings panel. This path is generally: Google > Google Update > Applications.
-
Enable Update Policy Override:
- Find the "Update policy override default policy" setting.
- Enable this policy. This allows you to control update behavior.
-
Allow Updates:
- Under the "Options" for the "Update policy override default policy", choose "Allow updates (recommended)". This is crucial for automatic updates.
-
Configure Chrome Specifically:
- Go to Google > Google Update > Applications > Google Chrome.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 for Google Chrome specifically. This ensures that the Chrome browser itself is also always allowed to update automatically. This guarantees Chrome receives the latest security patches and features without requiring manual intervention.
By following these steps, Chrome should automatically update whenever a new version is available, ensuring you have the latest features and security enhancements.
