Updating Google Chrome

Updating Google Chrome

To make sure you're protected by the latest security updates and that all your apps are running correctly, keep your Chrome OS up-to-date!  Do NOT leave your chromebook in "sleep mode" all the time because you may not receive the necessary updates for your device.  Follow the steps below:

To update Google Chrome (1min video demo):

  1. On your computer, open Chrome.
  2. At the top right, click More.
  3. Click Help, then About Google Chrome.
  4. Click Update Google Chrome.
    • Important: If you can't find this button, you're on the latest version.
  5. Click Relaunch if you see the relaunch button.

 

FYI:

  • Mac users: You can also set up automatic browser updates for all users of your computer if Google Chrome is installed in your Applications folder. Go to "About Google Chrome," and click Automatically update Chrome for all users.
  • Linux users: To update Google Chrome, use your package manager.
  • Windows users: Close all Chrome windows and tabs on the desktop, then relaunch Chrome to apply the update.

The browser saves your opened tabs and windows and reopens them automatically when it restarts.
