Is there an easy way to trigger Chrome to update via command line/Powershell?

Posted by byrontheconqueror@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 7 comments

Using PDQ here. I dont want to uninstall and reinstall chrome, just tell it to update now. We have things set for autoupdate and forces a restart, but I'd like to trigger them all to update now. I tried running the scheduled tasks, starting and restarting chrome, but it doesnt seem to update it. What am I missing here?

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe" /ua /installsource scheduler "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe" /c or: Winget upgrade google.chrome --silent assuming you are worried about the patches for that security vulnerability.

haha yes, that's why. Are those 3 options or do I need to run the googleupdate.exe with both sets of arguments?

Sorry i forgot to reply. Just one option works. Don't need all three.

From my understanding it was fixed in 117.0.5938.132 [https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2023/09/stable-channel-update-for-desktop\_27.html](https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2023/09/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_27.html)
