Chrome – Google Chrome Downgrade

google-chromeinstallationversion control

I want to Downgrade my Google chrome version 37 to chrome version 35 for some purposes. I've been disabling the Google Update Services from services.msc and downloaded a stand alone versions but its still updating.

Also every time I download a full offline installer and run it. It tries connecting to my internet and check for updates. If it found some updates, it will install the updated version of it.

I also been through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update "Update{8A69D345-D564-463C-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}" and set the values to zero and I also tried to add Google update administrative template on local group editor. But it is still updating.

Can someone help me?

The program that is doing that is deletable. Install chrome while offline. Look in the directory where it is located and delete the file. I have multiple versions of chrome installed in different accounts on my machine and it works fine.

The file is:

GoogleUpdate.exe

Found in this folder location:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Update
