Downgrade Google Chrome and turn off auto updates

Please perform the following steps

  • Rename the GoogleUpdate.exe file in the Google Chrome Program Files folder so that any process trying to update Google wouldn't be able to find the exe.

  • Disable scheduled tasks - We also noticed that Google creates Windows scheduled tasks that automatically updates Chrome even if the service is disabled. We've also disabled those scheduled tasks.

  • Go to the installed folder of Chrome and rename the folder named “Update” to “Update1”. Now launch Chrome and it will not update since it cannot find the folder named “Update” as we have renamed it.
