Turn off google pinyin update

It'd be lovely to see an option to only check for updates while Chrome itself is running, like This is ridiculous, why not just make a stupid tickbox that disables the rogue autoupdates and makes them the same way firefox does them?

It should also prevent any and all rogue background processes. I've been a fan of chrome for quiet a while but the sneaky and behind the curtains method of autoupdates is freaking me out. I don't want to hack my registry just to turn off a stupid function that should have been added on DAY 1 of the first official release.

I agree with the others, Chrome is 1 step away from malware in this regard. I was a fan of Google Chrome until I finally understood the reason that my internet didn't work half the time.

Why shove updates down people's throats? You had a good product except for this one thing. Why don't you follow the example of the major OS manufacturers and make an update options menu?

I like the chrome,but live in an area where my wireless get issued in expensive units of MB. Now I find automatic updates is consuming my MBs without my knowledge,spending money in a way backwards from the norm. This is progess?

I wish to choose what I download, from where and how I spend my money. For this reason I am uninstalling, because no simple remedy is offered,and unfortunatly seems another scam. Shame on you my former friend Google.

At least 2 things are bad with Chrome: 1. Silent automatic update that you can't configure at least that you can set time interval and chose between silent, automatic with asking and manual 2. You can't chose where to install it Somebody maybe want to install it on another drive Most software is now asking do you want to install for all users or just for current user and most of it have custom installation, too.

Thanks for this information. Actually, i used to with google apps like google chrome. Load Chrome and select the about Google Chrome and it will say "Update server not available error:3 Auto update is now disabled. Sorry miss this out from the last post.. Enter regedit. Click OK. The Registry Editor should appear. Try to relocate GoogleUpdate. I found this works. Even though 'Update server not available error: 3 ' error shows, need not bother until u wish to not update the version.

When update requires, locate the exe file back. Cheers, Ravi H. How about just typing about:plugins in the location bar of Chrome and then disable google update? The main problem with "typing about:plugins in the location bar of Chrome" is this was happening on systems that didn't have Chrome installed. Of course it's now 2 years later and the context has changed completely. I have not used Chrome but for the toolbar or Googletalk, disabling autoupdate from registry and services doesn't work since next time a Google app is run, it is back to square one.

So I just removed the. That solved my problem. No more Google updater running without my explicit permission. Just in case someone wondered how come Chrome or Firefox work faster than IE, most probably the "weight" of the temporary files both download per session can be the steroid. As GoogleUpdate is blocked by our CorporateFirewall, something causes it to crash the computer once in a blue moon.

So I've followed these instructions and I'll see how it goes. I added the following to my registry using regedit. I do not think it is a problem with bandwidth, more with CPU usage. But I am starting to suspect the issue to be linked with Chrome too, as sometimes, I cannot use Google Pinyin anymore on Chrome, but I can on other applications. When that happens, I need to restart Chrome. Like skylee, I switched to Sogou a few years ago and much prefer it to Google Pinyin, mostly because you can customise the look of it and magnify the input to a large size and cooler font to make it easier on the eyes.

I'd recommend it over Google Pinyin any time. You can post now and select your username and password later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account.

I used to attend a Windows 10 conference, they show many amazing features of TH2, and I cannot escape from the attraction, so I upgraded to TH2 yesterday, and then I face this trouble.

Maybe we can wait for other hackers' solutions, or ask for help from Microsoft. Perhaps, I can feed back it as a system bug. Hi, to follow up what you need to do to successfully remove the microsoft PinYin from Win10 system! When I enabled the Chinese package when I installed the Win10, you can see the English language bar in the right bottom corner of the desktop and you can input Chinese through Microsoft PinYin.

Now if you download google PinYin or other input software, you of course see both microsoft PinYin and googlePinYin in the bottom language bar setting. At this time, you are not able to remove the microsoft PinYin. Now, click on the "option" button below, then below window will shown. Click on "remove" button, and microsoftPinYin can be removed successfully.
