Fix Chrome not Updating

I recently encountered a problem were for one reason or another Chrome was not updating. My response was to re-install Chrome. But this failed because the trick to fixing the auto update lied in the registry. If your having this similar problem this is how you fix the problem.

Go to the registry but make the following changes


Go to Registry Editor
Go to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\
Double-click at the UpdateDefault or DefaultUpdate
And type 0 to 1
Exit Registry Editor and Go to your browser!
See! The Problem is solved!
