Google Chrome still shows a previous version when looking in the Help -> About Google Chrome section
This issue might occur if a Google Chrome browser window is open at the time of patching. When patching Google Chrome, the application is not shut down prior to the update. This has less impact on users.
- Google Chrome will update and report the newly installed version, but any open browser windows will still show the previous version.
- Google Chrome will suggest relaunching to complete the update.
- See Third-Party Patching Best Practices for additional details on applications that need to be restarted/relaunched.
