How to update services Google Play to use the latest version offered by the developers? To perform this task you can use Play Market. Updates are installed manually or downloaded automatically, provided that the appropriate permission is set in the settings.
Automatic update
What can I do to ensure that the firmware updates itself? Launch the Play Market, go to settings and turn on auto-update. If this function is activated, the phone starts downloading updates for all programs. This way you can quickly and quietly update all Google Play services.
It is recommended to select the “Wi-Fi only” mode. Why? Updates are quite heavy, so if you download them for all applications using mobile traffic, you can quickly go negative. The app store itself also needs an update. Here's what to do to check for a new version and install it:
- Launch Play Market, open settings.
- Click on "Build Version".
If there is an update, you will be prompted to install it. If you see that the version is old, but the program is not updated, use manual installation.
Manual update
Let's see how to update Google Play manually if auto-update doesn't work or you don't want to use it. There is 1 simple way to check if there are updates and install them.
- Launch a store. Call the main menu and go to the “My Applications” section.
- Open the "Installed" tab. All installed applications will be here, including built-in programs.
For example, you need to upgrade Google Calendar. If there is an “Update” button next to it, then there is an update. If there is no such button, then the developers simply have not released the upgrade yet. In this way you can check all available programs.
To update Google Play and Google Play services on Android for free, you can download their APK files to your computer, then transfer them to memory mobile device and start the installation. This method will take longer than a manual update through the Play Market. But reinstallation will help if Google services are not updated.
If you decide to download Play Market and Google services for free, then download them from trusted sites - for example, 4pda.ru. In this case, you can be sure that you will install the latest versions of the software without unnecessary problems.
Uninstalling updates
If problems arise with updated applications, you can remove the updates by rolling them back to the original version. What to do:
- Open the Applications section in Settings.
- Go to the "All" tab.
- Find Google Play Services. Open and click "Uninstall updates". If the services have not been updated, the button will be inactive.
The button may be inactive for another reason - the activated Device Administrator function. To disable it, go to the “Security” section, go to the “Device Administrators” subsection and deactivate remote control by unchecking the box.
Go to the label on the Hello guys page. One of the most popular browsers today Google Chrome is not without its shortcomings. Sometimes various problems arise, for example, when you want to update the browser, but it does not update and instead throws an error and writes something like: Updates disabled by administrator. But what if you are one yourself and haven’t turned anything off? It turns out to be an interesting situation, a way out of which exists and we will now consider it. I will try to describe in detail how and where to turn on what we did not turn off. This instruction is supported by.
Honestly, I don’t know why such an error occurs when updates are disabled by the administrator in Google Chrome, but this problem occurs everywhere. I encountered it personally and now I know how to fix it. Only for this we will need to correct something there. Let's go to this registry branch:
| 1 | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update |
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update
On the right side we look for a parameter called Update, with a value of 0, select it and press Delete to delete it. By the way, the parameter may be called a little differently, for example, after the word Update there may be some numbers. The point is that you need to remove it. 
After we have confirmed the deletion, go to the menu in Chrome and select the item: About the Google Chrome browser and check what is now written there. The update should now work and there should no longer be any messages indicating that they have been disabled by the administrator. Please write in the comments if this method helped you.
Enable updates in Chrome. Video
Friends, yesterday I encountered a problem, the solution to which took me about half an hour of time. I decided to update the Google Chrome browser (), but something went wrong...
As usual, in the program menu I selected Help, then About the Google Chrome browser, a page opened where it was stated:
An error occurred while checking for updates: The update check failed.
I restarted the scan several times, but got an error every time. It is noteworthy that its numerical code changed: sometimes 0x80004005, sometimes 0x80070005.
I found a hint on the Internet that in case of a similar problem, you need to close Chrome and restart it as an administrator. Close, go to the Start menu, right-click on Google Chrome - Advanced - Run as administrator.
We check for updates again, and lo and behold! The browser finds them, downloads them, after which a message appears:
To complete the update, restart Google Chrome. The Restart button also appears:
It would seem that everything is solved, but nothing like that... Click Restart, the browser closes, opens again and the same button appears again. I clicked on it ten times, but to no avail - the program is not updated.
I went online again, but didn’t find anything useful. Standard advice: uninstall the program and install it again (yep, do this every time a new version appears), restart the computer, clean the system registry, etc. Well, in general, absolutely useless advice. I decided to look for a solution myself.
This is what helped: go to Computer management and open Services. We find two points there:
- Google Update Service(gupdate)
- Google Update Service (gupdatem)
In the properties of each of them, set the launch type to “Manual” and click the Run button.
After that, open Chrome and click the same button Restart. Voila! The browser is updated to the latest version!
I hope my experience will help you, because someone will 100% sooner or later encounter a similar problem. It is noteworthy that in many years of working with Google Chrome, this is the first time such a problem happened with an update; before this, everything always worked without issues.
P.S. On September 4th, in honor of the tenth anniversary of its browser, Google released a major update for it. Appearance Chrome 69 has changed quite a bit (tabs look different, the design theme has changed), new features have been added (automatic password generation during registration, “live” hints, etc.).
Let's look at how to properly update Google Play services and get rid of errors during the software installation process on your smartphone.
What are Google Play Services for?
Google Play Services– this is a complex software, which is used by default by all gadgets based on . All installed services managed by one utility. Google developers recommend regularly updating standard software for stable operation systems.

Method 3 – Roll back updates and reinstall them

Developers are usually quick to release bug fixes for their apps, so you should always stay tuned for updates. If problems arise in the Software, it is better to roll back the update and try to install it again, or wait for fixes.

If you've been using Google Chrome for a long time, you've probably noticed that the American company tries not to make significant changes in design, limiting itself to minor updates. But not at this time. A major update to Chrome coincided with the tenth anniversary of the legendary browser. On this occasion, many new and interesting features appeared in it, including those that we, the users, have been waiting for a very long time.
Updated design of Google Chrome 69
Familiar for Android smartphone users and mobile applications Material Design is now fully implemented in Google Chrome. Many interface elements have been simplified, and users can now independently select a picture for home page if your start page is set to google.com with the most frequently visited pages. In order to change the standard picture, you need to click on the hash mark in the lower right corner and select “upload image”. After which, instead of the standard white background you can have your photo or any other image that you like.

Smart search in omnibox
To find answers to simple questions in Chrome 69, you don't have to switch to new tab and search in Google itself, just the necessary data is enough. Let's say you want to find out what the weather is like in St. Petersburg. To do this, start typing in the omnibox - a universal field for entering lines in Chrome - “Weather in St.” and the browser will automatically show you the weather in the Northern Capital right in search bar. A similar trick works not only with the weather, but also with exchange rates, for example, the dollar or euro exchange rate and many other requests.

Updated "password manager" in Chrome 69
It is difficult to remember the huge number of passwords that we use on various sites. Therefore, most of us prefer to save passwords directly in the browser. The updated Chrome can not only save your password, but also generate new ones when you register on a site (finally!).

It works like this: you enter your data ( email), and the browser automatically offers you New Password. If you agreed with the proposed password, then Chrome will automatically remember it in its manager, and the next time you log into the same site you will not have to enter the data manually: the updated password will automatically be “substituted” on its own. It's worth remembering that Google's password manager is cross-platform, which means that your data will be available on both desktop and mobile devices.
Picture-in-Picture mode in Chrome 69
Another feature that users have been asking for for a long time, the picture-in-picture mode, was also announced for Chrome 69. We are talking about a mode for viewing videos in a small window, in parallel with viewing other sites. Unfortunately, this function does not actually work yet. We tested it on Windows 10, Mac, and iOS. We really hope that it will work soon.
Mobile version of Google Chrome 69
The version of Google Chrome for iOS and Android has also undergone major changes. Here are just a few of them:
- added a lower toolbar with access to frequently used functions;
- updated the appearance of the tabs. The preview now shows pages opened on other devices;
- 3D Touch feature has been added to iOS. When you press firmly on the application icon, you will see a list of possible actions;
- data bank cards, entered into Chrome on one of your devices will automatically sync with Google Pay and you can use them on other devices.

How to update Google Chrome if you haven't already done so
In order to update Google Chrome, you can go in two different ways. Firstly, through the browser itself. Click on the "Settings" icon in the upper right corner of the screen and select "Update Google Chrome." Then press the “Restart” button. If you do not have the Google Chrome update, it means that the browser updated itself; no additional actions are required.
Secondly, a new version browser is always available on the corresponding website.
To update Chrome on operating systems iOS and Android go to App Store or Google Play and also click on the “Update” button.
It's worth noting that Google Chrome's design is the same on both iOS and Android, but since the update is rolling out gradually, you may have to wait a little longer to update Chrome on your smartphone. For example, we were faced with the fact that on iPhone X Chrome had already been updated, but on Galaxy Note 9 not yet. But there is no need to worry about this - the update will definitely reach everyone.
