Google Chrome browser automatically downloads and installs updates to keep itself up to date. Auto-updates make sure that you are always running the latest and greatest version of Chrome on your computer.

Most Chrome users are happy with the auto-update. However, a small section of users might want to prevent Chrome from automatically updating itself.

If you want to disable the automatic updates in the Google Chrome browser, then you will have to disable services responsible for Chrome auto-update. At present, Chrome does not offer a setting to disable or defer automatic updates.
