To make sure you're protected by the latest security updates, Google Chrome can automatically update when a new version of the browser is available on your device.
With these updates, you might sometimes notice that your browser looks different.
Updates typically happen in the background when you close and reopen your computer's browser (Google Chrome). But if you haven't closed your browser in a while, you might find a pending update.
Find updates
On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top right, select More.
If an update is pending, you'll find:
"Relaunch to update"
"Finish update"
"New Chrome available"
Run updates
On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top right, click More .
Click Help About Google Chrome.
Click Update Google Chrome.
Important: If you can't find this button, you're on the latest version.
Click Relaunch.
The browser saves your opened tabs and windows and reopens them automatically when it restarts. Your Incognito windows won't reopen when Chrome restarts. If you'd prefer not to restart right away, click Not now. The next time you restart your browser, the update will be applied.
