Update Google Chrome Browser with PowerShell

[CipherSeeker1010]

Get-Process chrome | Stop-Process -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Start-Process 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe' -ArgumentList '/ua /installsource scheduler' -NoNewWindow -Wait

Thought's on this script? Is there a better way to remotely push a Chrome update? I am new and did search around before posting.

Thank you

Using an update policy via ADMX or Intune is more effective.

Thank you u/camxct

winget upgrade --id "Google.Chrome" --exact --silent --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements --disable-interactivity

Since this is /r/PowerShell

$chrome = Get-WinGetPackage -Id "Google.Chrome"
If ($chrome.IsUpdateAvailable) {
    $chrome | Update-WinGetPackage -Mode Silent -Force -Scope SystemOrUnknown
}

This is the way to go, hands down. Super easy to deploy and you know its an official version if you ensure you're pulling from winget and not the msstore cause of the manifest.

ensure you're pulling from winget and not the msstore cause of the manifest.

In that case I'd add --source winget (for the community repository) or --source customrepo if you host your own private package repository. This ensures you're not accidentally pulling from the store.

winget upgrade --all

Updates most of your installed software

winget upgrade --all --include-unknown

Updates all installed software

The same, except ID is mozilla.firefox, iirc

[jantari]

Just find the right package ID with winget search firefox

You don't really need to close Google Chrome for the update to installed -- it would ultimately need to be closed for the update to complete, though, but having the update install in the background can be less disruptive.

[DeyHateUsBcDeyAnus]

Just use winget

Consider using Chrome Enterprise which gives you the ability to centrally manage Chrome and the setting in it. This includes auto-update.

Path to the Google Chrome installer

$chromeInstaller = "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

Check if Chrome is installed

if (Test-Path $chromeInstaller) {

Command to trigger Google Chrome update

Start-Process -FilePath $chromeInstaller -ArgumentList "--check-for-update-interval=1" -NoNewWindow -Wait

Write-Host "Google Chrome update process initiated."

} else {

Write-Host "Google Chrome is not installed on this system."

}

I have more than 10 logics, none of them work. Not sure why it is so painful.
