I currently have 5 EC2 Virtual Machines, each of which has a chrome browser installed and 40 browser profiles.
Chrome updates itself every few hours, even though I have tried several different options to get it to stop.
I have tried disabling the auto update feature using a group policy edit, then restarting the virtual machine. It seems to go without update for a short period of time (a few hours), then updates.
I have disabled Google Update Services as well as Gogle Chrome Elevation Service. None of this has worked.
I would like to prevent Google Chrome from updating indefinitely.

I have a Windows 2016 Server with IIS 10.0.14393.0 installed that is maintained within an isolated VM environment. (The entire VM environment is isolated from the real-world.)
The web server is configured with three websites through IIS, and each website is assigned a dedicated IP. The contents in each of these websites is a single "hello world" html page that can be accessed via a browser from from my development workstation using Microsoft Edge, but I cannot access these pages using Chrome. The simple hello world html page was created only to assist in troubleshooting this issue.
The error received in Chrome is ERR_TIMED_OUT and based on the IIS logs, the request is never reaching the web server. IIS logs do indicate the request/reponse when accessing using Edge.
From my workstation, I can successfully ping the web server, traceroute output does not indicate any unexpected hops, etc. From all indications, the problem appears to be isolated to Chrome and only when accessing the sites on that server. I have other servers (W2016 and W2019) in the real-world with a similar configurations and real applications deployed there that work as expected with any browser.
I am using the latest Chrome Version 105.0.5195.102 (Official Build) (64-bit) and can access other web based content within this VM environment using Chrome, just not on that one server.
I am almost to the point of deleting that VM instance and starting over so any ideas/suggestions are appreciated.
The error received in Chrome is ERR_TIMED_OUT
This is a communication problem indication that there is a problem with the user's local network connection. It can appear when your internet is too slow or your connection is taking too long, or the page or website you are visiting may be too busy, or when the website in question is not set up correctly, or even if the website is trying to perform more than your server can manage.
I'm not sure if you've seen the following methods, but you can try.
Method 1: Browse in Incognito Mode and Remove Extensions.
You should first browse the website in incognito mode to check if you
can open the website normally, if so then the culprit of the
ERR_TIMED_OUT error may be your plugin or extension. Therefore, you
need to enable extensions one by one to check for errors, and if there
is an error enabling an extension, you need to remove it from your
browser.
Method 2: Delete the Default Chrome Folder
Press Win + R keys at the same time to open the Run
Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\ in the box and click OK.
Close your Chrome if it is opened.
A new window pops out, find the folder named Default. Backup the folder anywhere else, then right-click the folder to choose Delete.
After you have deleted the folder successfully, open your Chrome and
then visit the webpage again that you searched before to check if the
error still appears.
Method 3: Update Network Drivers
If your network driver is out of date, you may encounter ERR_TIMED_OUT
errors. Here's how to update network drivers.
Right-click the Start button to select Device Manager.
Scroll down to find Network Adapters and click on it to expand it.
Right-click on your network device and select Update Driver.
Select Search automatically for updated driver software option to start to search and update your network driver to a new version.
After that, restart your computer and open the sites again with Chrome
to see if you can open them.
Method 4: Disable Firewall & Antivirus Software
Sometimes, your firewall or antivirus software may cause trouble.
Therefore, you should try to disable them and check if the problem can
be solved. If you find it helpful to disable these programs, you can
check the firewall settings. Allow Chrome to connect to public or
private networks. If it doesn't work. Permanently delete these
programs, and then use other antivirus software or firewalls.
Method 5: Check Hosts File
When you meet the ERR_TIMED_OUT error accessing a specific website,
you can check the Hosts file to see if the website has been blocked.
Here is the way to do that:
Press Win + E keys at the same time to open File Explorer and then go to the Local Disk C: > Windows > System32 > Drivers > etc.
Open the host file with notepad. If you see the web address that you cannot visit, delete that entire line from the host file and save.
After that, open the Chrome and see if you can open the specific
website.
Method 6: Reinstall Chrome Browser
If none of the methods above fix the ERR_TIMED_OUT error, then you
should try reinstalling Chrome. Here is the tutorial:
Press Win + R keys at the same time to open the Run box, then type appwiz.cpl and click OK to open a new window.
Find Google Chrome in the list, and then right-click it to choose Uninstall.
After uninstalling Google Chrome successfully, you also need to delete its leftover files. Open the Run box again, then type %appdata%
and click OK to open a new window.
Find the Google folder and then right-click it to choose Delete.
Go to Google Chrome’s site to download the latest version of the browser, and then install it.
The above methods are from the web article. To avoid link being unavailable, I have also presented the details. I am not sure if the above methods can help you, but I hope you can solve the problem soon.
I want to demonstrate my working LIVE to my customers, and I don't want them to disturb me while seeing at my process. (AND NO STREAMING, because i need to do this non stop, and don't have unlimited traffic)
is there a way for Chrome RDP to be accessed by 100 users simultaneously AS VIEWER ONLY (so that they can't click anything)?
or maybe another apps also (not only in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, but it is OK for Windows Server too)
I set up a LAMP instance in Google Compute Engine approx 45 days ago, and it came with phpMyAdmin already set up and accessible via a button in the console (in Compute Engine -> VM instances -> instance-name -> phpMyAdmin).
The button is now gone, and I can't find any documentation regarding the change. I can still access it via the browser at my-ip/phpmyadmin.
Just wondering if there was some recent change I was unaware of. I can update phpmyadmin manually but it appears that GCE no longer "officially" supports it.
I am assuming you deployed your LAMP stack via deployment manager. https://console.cloud.google.com/deployments/
If so, you should be able to access your deployment and all the relative details over there including login link for phpmyadmin.
As far as support from Google is concerned, since you have already deployed your instance, even if they remove it from their deployments, it will never affect what you have deployed. Moreover I just deployed a new instance and I can see that phpmyadmin is as an option (not sure if it always was). But even after adding it to my deployment, no extra instance for phpmyadmin was created. It is in the same instance as my rest of stack.
Since you are able to access it via your URL, there's nothing be worried about, and there are no changes on GCP side either. If anything, phpmyadmin is now optional.
I have a packaged app that calls chrome.runtime.reload(). On a desktop OS (Windows, OSX) this call will cause the application to close, but not restart unless there is an additional Chrome page open.
I assume this is because if it is the only Chrome app running, it closes the Chrome process entirely and there is nothing to restart it.
Adding the background permission looks like it should work, according to the documentation but it does not seem to actually start Chrome when the user logs in (and keep it running) as the documentation states.
A user can override this globally with a setting.
In Chrome's settings with "Show advanced settings":
System > Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed
Perhaps it is disabled on your development system.
I'm fighting against a strange behavior in our office network.
Every morning when we switch on our computers, our network was overload on outbound traffic.
After several test I found a possible cause.
I noticed that when we start Chrome (and gmail?) there is a high traffic generated from my computer to Google servers (e.g.: 74.125.133.132). Here a resource monitor screenshot:
The network traffic doesn't go down until I stop chrome and I start it again.
No extensions installed and every possible traffic generating feature is disabled.
Monitoring the network and restart Chrome every morning is quite annoying. Does someone have a similar behavior and a solution/workaround?
On start up chrome checks weather new update or fixes are available or not..
Or you might be having an chrome extension like _toolbar type, these type of extensions causes a lot of traffic..
Go to settings => extensions => and disable unnecessary and unrecognized extensions..
Hope it solve your problem..
