How to disable Chrome auto update? Well, this is complete way to do it. Recently, my chrome browser has made its automatic update from v.29 to v.30. I don't see any significant changes of chrome features, but one thing really bothered is that chrome force extra CPU consumption and make my laptop really hot. This is silly, even when I disconnect the internet and only open on tab, my CPU temp reach 69*C. Then I close chrome and CPU temp back to around 40*C.
This is unacceptable so I downgrade it previous version of chrome (v.29) then anything back to normal. I don't know whether this only happen to me, or others may experience the same. But I've decided not to update chrome to version 30. These are my steps to block chrome from updating:
Sometime chrome reschedule the task (rarely happened), this means You'll have to repeat the steps above. Or the final solution to prevent chrome from updating is to delete any file related to update process. You can find the file from your User profile » Local setting » application data » Google » Update. This is perfectly works for me, You can try it!
