Disable automatic updates Google Chrome in Windows 10

Google Chrome is one of the most popular browsers, if not the most common and famous, worldwide for all that it offers us both in design, dynamism, security, compatibility and functions to increase your productivity. That is why Google Chrome is one of the most used, by default this browser integrates some functions so that it always receives new available updates and this is done through Google's own services..

In the Windows 10 service manager we locate two services in particular, which are:

  • Google Update Service (gupdatem)

 

Step 3

We double click or right click / Modify on Google Update Service (gupdatem) and in the "Startup type" field we set "Disabled":

Step 6

After this we access the Windows 10 Task Scheduler, click on "Scheduler Library" and there we locate the following tasks:

 

  • GoogleUpdateTaskMachineCore
  • GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA

 

Step 7

We right click on "GoogleUpdateTaskMachineCore" and select "Disable":

Step 8

Now we right click on "GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA" and disable the task. This will prevent automatic update tasks from running on Windows 10.

With these two processes we will prevent Google Chrome from carrying out its automatic updates.
