Getting the latest Chrome version is important for security reasons and
performance improvement. However there are reasons for some people decided not
to update and stay on the old version regardless of the better security
provided for the newest one, such as compatibility issue of Internet Download
Manager for example.
To install and use an older version of Chrome is quite easy however we need to
be quick as Chrome will check and install its newest version
automatically.
First step is to uninstall current Google Chrome from the computer and
download the old version from the link below.
When done installing the older version, Chrome will open but just close it.
Quickly disconnect the internet to prevent it from auto-updating, or
open task manager and go to services and search for gupdate and
stop the service. This is the service that will check for update and then
download the latest chrome.
Next step is to go to Chrome's "Update" folder which by default is at:
Local Disk(C) > Program Files > Google > Update -- (For 32bit
computer)
Local Disk(C) > Program Files (x86) > Google > Update -- (For 64bit
computer)
Delete GoogleUpdate application. If you could not delete the
application, make sure gupdate service is stopped first.
If you wish to go back to the auto-update chrome, simply download and
reinstall a new Chrome.
