UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML,

Steps to reproduce the problem:

What is the expected behavior?

button is clicked, Google Chrome should restart and the page should
show "Google chrome is up to date"

What went wrong?
When the "Nearly up-to-date! Relaunch Google Chrome to finish updating."
button is clicked, Google Chrome will restart, but the message does not go
away, even if I restart multiple times

Did this work before? N/A

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=309362

the automatic update process was failing for me completely. i then stupidly
uninstalled, and then did a fresh re-install of chrome. but it still didnt
solve the problem, as well as losing all bookmarks and extensions by
uninstalling and reinstalling, the automatic update process is still not
working, i am getting the same issue as the original poster.

every time i go to the "about" page, it says
"Nearly up to date! Relaunch Google Chrome to finish updating" whether i
click the relaunch button or just close chrome completely and restart it, i
always get the same message showing up on the "About" page...

Version 31.0.1650.63 m

Nearly up to date! Relaunch Google Chrome to finish updating.

i also tried creating a fresh profile via the instructions at

but that didnt help, still getting the same "relaunch to finish updating"
message

This issue is no longer reproducible on my machine; it was solved with a
subsequent update of Google Chrome.

Press the menu button (a stack of three horizontal lines) in the upper
right corner of the browser. > "Relaunch Chrome in windows 8 mode" > In the
bottom right corner is the status window with a message... click that >
update and relaunch

That worked for me. Maybe it will for you too.

Unable to repro the issue on win8 chrome version 33.0.1750.149 and
35.0.1891.2 canary. After clicking on "Nearly up to date, relaunch google
chrome to finish updating" chrome updated to latest version and the message
is not shown any more.

Could you please recheck the issue on latest stable 33.0.1750.149 and
update the thread with your observations.

Not going to do a uninstall-reinstall anytime soon.
Still having this problem as of 33.0.1750.154 m.

Some thing unique to my system:
- I have the Cache and Media Cache symlinked to ramdisk
- I run portable versions of Stable, Beta and Dev to test extensions,
keeping the installed Chrome for non-dev activities
- I see 2 entries of "Google Chrome" in the 'Open with..' menu on
right-click of html file. On digging in to registry
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.htm\OpenWithProgids)
I found that theres 'ChromeHTML'
and 'ChromiumHTM.P2W3PO2WGHOLJQJ2EW7HNJLTPE'. Also littered around the
registry theres Chrome and Chromium stuff.

The problem disappeared!

Gone away with the problems I'm having with some Windows 8 Modern apps.
Highly possible that the cause is the RAM disk.

The RAM disk needs to emulate a hard drive completely for all to go
smoothly.

I got the clue here:
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/38691-WARNING-Placing-Temporary-Internet-Files-on-RAM-disk-causes-some-Metro-apps-to-fail

Fixed the modern apps problem and also Chrome's problem.

This usually happens when you have other chrome windows or chrome apps
open. make sure you have all ties e.g external processes to chrome
terminated before you do a relaunch.

this fixed it for me anyways

Chrome to finish updating." message is not going away
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=309362

I have seen this problem twice, both times it happened under the following
circumstances:

1. The update came with a new chrome.exe.
2. A non-Google process had a handle open on chrome.exe such that it could
not be renamed to old_chrome.exe

When this happens the update process silently fails and the old version is
relaunched.

In both cases the culprit was SteamService.exe, the service helper process
for Steam which should be running as long as Steam is running (you might
have to kick off a game install if it is not running to force it to launch,
or just start the service). Not sure what it is doing, probably is a Steam
bug.

Still, Chrome should at least alert the user that another program is
blocking the Chrome update, and that a reboot should fix it (SteamService
does not appear to immediately open handles to chrome.exe on launch... not
sure what prompts it to do this).

@megazzt: if you have seen this recently, or if you see it again in the
future, could you locate your %TEMP$\chrome_installer.log file and attach
it to the bug? (If Chrome is installed under Program Files, the log file
will be found at C:\Windows\Temp\chrome_installer.log instead).

@robertsh I have not seen this recently but the file specified seems to
cover multiple installation logs (at least, the errors from them) and it
has errors indicating old_chrome.exe could not be removed on multiple
occasions. I have attached the full file.

bland.life: Chrome Portable is unsupported and is known to cause problems
with Google Chrome installations. Chrome Portable isn't distributed or
supported by Google, so there's not much we can do to help with problems it
causes.

My latest build of Chrome Portable (I'm the one who made it) removes the
need to hack the version number into the registry, but I don't think that
ever made it into the build PortableApps.com maintains. :(

So yeah, don't run Chrome and Chrome Portable at once. That setup is not
supported, only run one at once.

Chrome has built-in "profiles" support if you need to run two separate
Chrome profiles at once.

I am also having the exact same problem as people have described above and
am also running steam in the background. Let me know what info I need to
provide if any. I'm currently on Version 38.0.2101.0 dev-m (64-bit) but
this only started happening to me about a week or so ago after being on the
dev 64 bit version for about a month

I had the same message displayed despite relaunching chrome multiple times.
But, I "Restarted" the Windows system(Win 7 64bit) and the message was
gone. Now my Chrome is up to date message is displayed.
