How to Update Chrome on MacOS: Fix Common Issues

Are you having trouble updating Google Chrome on your MacOS device? You're not alone. Many users have encountered issues with Chrome updates, but don't worry - we've got some solutions for you.

Before we dive into the troubleshooting steps, make sure your internet connection is working properly. A slow or blocked connection can prevent Chrome from updating correctly. Check your Wi-Fi status by clicking on Control Centre from the menu bar and ensuring it says 'connected'.

Step 1: Uninstall Antivirus Apps

Some antivirus apps might interfere with Chrome's update process. To fix this, uninstall any third-party antivirus software you have installed. The default Microsoft Defender app is capable of removing malicious files from your computer, so there's no need for additional protection.

To uninstall an antivirus app:

* Open the Settings app on Windows (Windows + I keys)

* Find antivirus apps in the list and click on the three-dot menu beside it

* Select Uninstall and follow on-screen instructions to remove the software from your computer

Step 2: Run an Internet Connection Troubleshooter

If you're facing internet connection issues, run Microsoft's built-in internet troubleshooter tool. This can help resolve network connectivity problems.

To run the Internet Troubleshooter:

* Open the Settings app on Windows

* Go to Network & Internet menu

* Run Internet Troubleshooter (Windows)

Step 3: Check for Blocked Sites

If certain sites are blocked, Chrome won't be able to connect to the update tool online. Ensure that dl.e and other websites aren't blocked.

Step 4: Uninstall Sketchy Files

Unwanted software or malicious files might prevent Chrome from updating correctly. Scan your PC using Windows Security software (Windows key + R keys) and remove any sketchy files you find.

Step 5: Manually Update Google Chrome

If the above steps don't resolve the issue, try manually updating Chrome to the latest version:

* Open Chrome

* Select the About menu

* Click on Update Google Chrome to the latest version

By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to update Chrome successfully on your MacOS device.
