Have anyone worked with disabling google chrome auto update.

Chrome has build in policies and they is a quite easy description on how to disable auto update - but even I do it, chrome still is updating

I'm having the same issue. I want to enable auto update, but I want to verify the settings are correct by disabling them so I can see it change.

I'm using the built-in "External Applications" option in the config profile. I've also tried different versions of it.

Hello,
First make sure you're protected by the latest security updates, Google Chrome can automatically update when a new version of the browser is available on your device.
1.On your computer, open Chrome.
2.At the top right, click More .
3.Click Update Google Chrome.
4.Click Relaunch.
