Why is there a need to update your Google Chrome browser version or other browser you may have?

This is in order for you to install the recent updates to fight against security threats online. One other thing also which is very obvious is to install browser compatibility on viewing websites you visit.

What to do if you get an error updating your Google Chrome browser?

Due to firewall and security settings you may have at home or in the office, installing updates may give error messages, such as the following;

An error occurred while checking for updates: Update check failed to start (error code 1: 0x80004005).

Update failed (error: 7)An error occurred while checking for updates: The installer could not connect to the Internet. Ensure that your computer is connected to the Internet and your firewall allows GoogleUpdate.exe to connect then try again.


This kind of error messages are indication that your network administators are restricting your access to update your browser or other software.
