    I don't see why this answer is being downvoted. Simply disabling Google Update is enough to solve the problem. Now the user can enter chrome://help and Chrome will not update itself

    @kukis (not my downvote, but) it seems to already be covered in the top answer. By the way, I don't have such a plugin in my browser. Commented Sep 12, 2016 at 9:19

    @AmaniKilumanga I think "Google Update services" means the Windows service in services.msc? I don't know if disabling the service alone can stop the update.

    I wish I could downvote because turning off update services for one of the two main sandboxes on your system is beyond irresponsible advice. Commented Sep 12, 2016 at 20:30

    @kukis: It was downvoted because it is a single-sentence answer (when you remove the second answer, which is pure useless noise) giving a vague recommendation without any effort to explain why this might help, and what the downsides may be (of which, in this case, there are serious examples). If "this solves the problem but causes ten more much worse" is acceptable to you then go for it, but there is no way we should be taking this approach in the general case when providing answers on Stack Exchange.
