How to disable google chrome browser refresh. At the bottom there is a blue inscription in small print "Show advanced settings". We press it. Enable automatic updates for Google Chrome
One of the most attractive features Google chrome is an option automatic updatewhich makes your life easier by managing software updates without bothering you for anything related to it. useful function can create problems. If you do not have sufficient bandwidth or work in a corporate environment, automatic updates would not be a good function for you, you can disable automatic updatesgoogle chromeand then manually update google chrome whenever you want. For example, if a company decides to install Google chrome on all computers and asks all of its employees to start using it, we will have a situation where thousands Google chrome installations in the same office, trying to check for updates and downloading updates. This will create problems for network administrators!
So, this is how I ponder how you can disable this feature, on the google help page.
Disable automatic updates for Google Chrome
- Launch Terminal, located in / Applications / Utilities /
- Enter the following defaults, write the command, and hit return:
defaults write com.google.Keystone.Agent checkInterval 0
- Exit Terminal and restart Google chrome
Note that this setting disables all automatic updates for all google applications on a computer, not just for Chrome... Perhaps there is a way to disable chrome with automatic update elements, I did not find it, even the fact that Google offers a broader solution described above.
Disable manually updating Chrome after automatic updates
Now that you have disabled the automatic update features, you want to update google chrome manually. The easiest way would be to just download the latest version Chrome from the website, but you can also start the update process from command lineby following the steps below:
- In OS X Finder, press Command + Shift + G to open select the Folders window, enter the following path:
/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Content/Resources/
- Find “CheckForUpdatesNow.command” and double click on it to launch Terminal and run Google software update manually
If you're tired of fighting manual update, it's easy to turn again:
Enable automatic google update Chrome
- Launch Terminal located in / Applications / Utilities / and enter the following defaults, write the command:
defaults write com.google.Keystone.Agent checkInterval 18000
- Exit Terminal and restart Google Chrome for automatic updates
The numbers at the end are the number of seconds between version checks, 18000 is the default, but if you want to be more or less aggressive, choose a higher or lower number, respectively.
Note: do not disable automatic updates, otherwise you will not be able to receive the update before latest updates security systems. You will need to keep your eyes closed for Google chrome-releases from time to time and keep a set of security settings.
The Google Chrome browser installed on your computer automatically regularly checks and downloads updates if available. This is a positive factor, however, in some cases (for example, very limited traffic), the user may need to disable automatic updates of Google Chrome and, if such an option was previously provided in the browser settings, then in latest versions - no longer.
In this manual, there are ways to disable Google Chrome updates in Windows 10, 8 and Windows 7 in different ways: first, we can completely disable Chrome updates, and the second - make it so that the browser does not search (and, accordingly, install) updates automatically, but can install them when you need it.
Disable Google Chrome browser updates completely
The first method is the easiest for a novice user and completely blocks the ability to update Google Chrome until the moment you undo the changes made.
The steps to disable updates in this way are as follows
This completes all the actions - updates cannot be installed either automatically or manually, even if you go to "Help" - "About Google Chrome" (this will be displayed as an error about the impossibility of checking for updates).
After completing this step, I also recommend going to the task scheduler (start typing in the search on the Windows 10 taskbar or in the menu windows start 7 "Task Scheduler"), and then disable the GoogleUpdate tasks present there, as in the screenshot below.
Disable automatic Google Chrome updates using Registry Editor or gpedit.msc
The second way of configuring Google Chrome updates is official and more complicated, described on the page https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6350036, I will only present it in a more understandable way for an ordinary Russian-speaking user.
Disable Google Chrome updates in this way You can use the Local Group Policy Editor (available only for Windows 7, 8 and Windows 10 Pro and above) or using the Registry Editor (available for other OS editions as well).
Disabling updates using the Local Group Policy Editor will consist of the following steps:
Done, no updates will be installed after this. Additionally, I recommend removing the "GoogleUpdate" tasks from the task scheduler, as described in the first method.
If the local group policy editor is not available in your edition of the system, then you can disable Google Chrome updates using the registry editor as follows:
On this you can close the registry editor and at the same time remove the GoogleUpdate tasks from the Windows Task Scheduler. Going forward, Chrome updates won't need to be installed unless you undo any changes you've made.
Updating programs, browsers and components operating system Is a necessary procedure that should not be neglected. But when you sit on mobile internet, where every megabyte is counted, it is better not to do this, postponing until an unlimited high-speed connection is available. To disable automatic updates of Google Chrome in the operating room windows system 10 - use one of the following methods.
Method 1
Press the Start button right click mouse and select the "Run" item in the menu.
Alternatively, you can press the key combination Win + R.
In the "Open" timeline, enter the command msconfig and press the "Enter" button.
This window will open:
Go to the "Services" tab, put a check mark "Do not display Microsoft services" at the bottom of the window and look at the remaining list. There, among others, the two services we need should remain:
Google Update Service (gupdate) Google Update Service (gupdatem)
To disable the update chrome browser, uncheck both services and click on OK.
Windows 10 will pop up a warning window. We select the option "Restart".
After restarting the system, the browser will no longer update itself.
Method 2
The same can be done in a slightly different way. Right-click on the "This PC" icon on the desktop and select "Management" from the menu. A window like this will appear:
We open the list of services and on the right side of the window we find the same Chrome browser update services as in the first method - gupdate and gupdatem... You need to double-click on each of them to bring up the properties window:
In the "Startup type" field, select "Disabled" and apply the changes.
Method 3
You can also disable the update of the Google Chrome browser through the task scheduler. The fact is that the services that we deactivated in the two previous methods do not start by themselves. It does the planned for some certain time a task. Accordingly, if you remove it, then the browser will not update itself. To do this, again launch the system management window and open the "Task Scheduler" section.
At the bottom right there is a complete schedule in which you need to find the task GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA and double-click on it to see its tasks, among which there will be a browser update, which must be disabled or removed altogether:
After that, the Chrome web browser will not update itself, but only when you want it.
How to do this in Android?
Many owners of smartphones and tablets ask - how can you permanently disable the Google Chrome update in the operating room? android system... I'll tell you now!
The fact is that the standard built-in means of the mobile operating system cannot prohibit the update of one program. But you can configure it so that this process is controlled independently by the user. To do this, go to Google play Market and open the main menu:
Find and select the item "Settings" \u003e\u003e\u003e "Auto-update applications". This menu will appear:
We select the item "Never". After that, you will not be able to install new versions of Play Market applications on your own and you will independently control this process!
There was one condition. I definitely needed Chrome version 25.0 ... I installed Google Chrome and decided to disable the update function, as I usually do (if not disabled, the browser will automatically update to the latest version).
In Chrome, I did not find disabling updates and just quickly did it through msconfig and, just in case, autoload in CCleaner, thinking that these manipulations would be enough.
Imagine my surprise when I saw, after a while, that the browser was updated to the latest version.
Wow. Not only are these guys from Google hiding the disabling of updates somewhere, but also the commands in msconfig are not for them.
When I take on something, I usually bring it to completion. I undertook to find the same disabling updates in Google Chrome and did it.
Here's a quick tutorial. After disconnecting in this way, everything works fine for me, nothing is updated.
1. Click "Customize and manage Google Chrome" in the upper right of the browser (a square with three horizontal stripes). Click "Settings".
2. At the bottom there is a blue inscription in small print "Show advanced settings". We press it.
3. Immediately we see "Personal data" and a gray button that says "Content settings". Click on this button.
4. We get into the window "Page content settings". Scroll down until your eye catches on the blue small print "Disable individual modules". Click.
5. We get to the "Plugins" page. The Google Update module will be visible at the bottom. This is what we are looking for. This feature is enabled by default. We press the blue inscription "Disable". After deactivation, the module becomes inactive and turns gray.
The problem has been solved.
Of course, many people don't know if their browser is updated or not. But, nevertheless, it is more pleasant when you yourself manage the process.
Software for the new Windows, read.

@Svetlana, good browser... I had to switch to Mozilla for only one reason - constant crashes of the flash player.

@ Slava, they are strange. Quite recently, there was a possibility of disconnection, but now it is no longer. Most likely, they removed this feature. Well, I'll try to look for how you can turn it off.

@Sergey, thanks. They removed the option to disable updates. Apparently, there is now an automatic update. You cannot set anything: neither the update rate, nor the shutdown.
There are ways to block the update, but you need to put some special. applications or pick group policies Windows, and I did not do it.

Users who actively use the Google Chrome browser often complain about the automatic refresh of pages (tabs) inside the browser when switching to them.
Considering that automatic updates also clear cached data (including downloaded video content, running online, flash games, music), this feature of the browser becomes critical for some people using the Internet with a weak data reception / transmission speed.
It would seem that the function of automatic page refresh unloads and reduces the load on rAM devices and on cPU, which has a positive effect on the speed of the computer, but considering that the cached data may contain important information, then this nuance becomes a reason to search for other browsers.
What is the problem or why is it inconvenient
From the developer's perspective, everything is correct - inactive tabs take up memory and reduce overall system performance. To prevent this from happening, the developer came up with a function to close an inactive tab and automatically update it upon activation.
Imagine we put a film on online viewing and were actively involved in the process, but then we decided to check emailby going to new tab... We read the letters, answered them ... we decided to go back to the tab with the online movie and found that the page automatically started updating, and the cache with the previously loaded movie was cleared. The same will happen with online music and flash games. Not very convenient, is it ?!
The situation is aggravated when a user (from the word user in English) opens online text and (or) image editors, switches to a new tab (for reasons known only to him), but at the same time does not have time to save the changes made in the tabs and loses the edited by him earlier information (and nerve cells too).
Disable auto-update pages in Google Chrome.
There is one very convenient way disable auto-refresh of pages (tabs) in Google Chrome. You don't need to download any third-party for this. software or plugins, everything is much easier and faster.
Disabling automatic updating of tabs in the Google Chrome browser using standard tools:
- Open (launch) the browser internet google Chrome.
- We enter in the address bar, which is located at the top of the browser Chrome (the place where it is entered and displayed Page url) or copy and paste from the clipboard (right-click on address bar and select "Paste") the following text: "chrome: // flags / # automatic-tab-discarding". Press the Enter key (use).
- A system (secure) page should open with a choice of many settings (as shown in the screenshot). These settings are of a purely systemic nature and it is not recommended to change anything without special need (and knowledge).
- By default, the required line "Automatically delete the contents of tabs" with the following description below "Delete the contents of tabs when the system memory is full, will be highlighted in yellow. The tabs will remain on the tab bar and will reload when clicked. For information on remote tabs, see chrome: // discards. # automatic-tab-discarding ".
- Right-click on the drop-down list and select the "Disabled" item.
- A button should appear at the bottom of the page (in the screenshot, the button is circled in a red rectangle).
- Restart the Google Chrome browser by closing the browser or click on the button at the bottom of the "Restart" page.
- After that, the problem with automatic page refresh (if it can be called a problem at all) should be eliminated. Safe for all of you Internet users!
