I have used the same settings. However, Chrome Apps are also getting installed.
Is there a way to restrict the installation of those apps or a way to block those application from installing?
Example: Google Drive, YouTube, Sheet, docs, Gmail, Slides.

Hello,
Why not set only those two:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update]
“AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes”=dword:00000078
“UpdateDefault”=dword:00000003

I followed the instructions here and the configuration deployed successfully through Endpoint Manager to my Windows 10 AAD endpoints, but the Chrome version appears to be stuck on the version it was on when the config deployed. Any advice?

This was exactly what I was looking for because the Google KB was very much lacking in details. It worked like a charm. Thanks!

Great article!

Don’t know if this has changed recently, but I was able to rollback to targetversion on AAD joined device.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/GoogleUpdate~Policy~Cat_GoogleUpdate~Cat_Applications~Cat_GoogleChrome/Pol_TargetVersionPrefixGoogleChrome

I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why this is not working on my AAD devices. Has anyone found a workaround? I need to keep my endpoints on the previous versions of Chrome for at least a couple weeks while QA continues to test our home grown applications.

In reply to Dilip.

Although the policy settings from Google Update are applied successful, they seem to have no effect on AAD joined devices.
The description of the Override settings:
This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
And indeed, the settings does work on Hybrid AAD joined devices.
I put a note on this to the article.

In reply to Peter Klapwijk. Yea I tried that Peter, UpdateDefault is set to 0 but it didn't work for me. When you go chrome about screen it still check for updates. Expected behaviour should be updates are disabled but it still updates. Appreciate your help. Thanks
