How to update your Google Chrome browser to the latest version
Normally updates happen in the background when you close and re-open your browser.
However, if you have not closed your browser in a while you might see the Chrome menu on the browser change colour to green , orange
or red
.
If you see green that means an update has been available for 2 days, orange – 4 days and red – 7 or more days. To apply an available update, just follow the steps below.
- Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
- Select Update Google Chrome.
- In the confirmation dialogue that appears, click Restart.
- The browser saves your opened tabs and windows and reopens them automatically when it restarts. If you'd prefer not to restart right away, click Not now.
- The next time that you restart your browser, the update will automatically be applied.
- Please Note : Windows 8 users: Make sure that you close all Chrome windows and tabs on the desktop and Windows 8 app, then relaunch Chrome to apply the update.
