    I am on windows 10. Chrome stopped updating, Recommendation was to uninstall and reinstall. Performed uninstall. Reinstall is failing with *no* error codes. The installer appears to try to open, then fails. Have attempted steps outlined here. Any thoughts?

      @Heidi: If you have MCAfee product installed, proceed and uninstall it.. Additionally, delete the "Chrome" folder from the following locations on disk:
      C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Google\
      C:\Program Files\
      C:\Program Files (x86)\

        So frustrating. Same results. This is really baffling.

          @Heidi: The final solution is to delete all "Chrome" entries from registry.

      @Alishba: First of all see the note for 64bit OS or Windows XP. If you still cannot find the mentioned key:
      1. Open Registry Editor.
      2. Go to Edit > Find.
      3. Search for: "{430FD4D0-B729-4F61-AA34-91526481799D}" (without quotes) and delete it from all registry locations.
      e.g.
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Update\ClientState\
      HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-1000\Software\Google\Update\Clients\
      HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-1000\Software\Google\Update\ClientState\
