Chromebooks update automatically to provide you with the latest features and keep the software fresh and speedy.  Sometimes the update process doesn't quite work so automatically.  Here are the steps to check for and complete Chromebook updates.


  1. Log in to the Chromebook with any valid account.
  2. At the bottom right, select the time.
  3. Select Settings .
  4. At the bottom of the left panel, select About Chrome OS.
  5. Under "Google Chrome OS," you'll find which version of the Chrome operating system your Chromebook uses.
  6. Select Check for updates.
  7. Complete the prompt to Restart after the update, if an update is available.


Multiple updates may be available -- These update steps may need to be completed several times to complete all pending updates.

Updates are complete when the Check for updates indicates that there are not available updates.



Did you know?  Google updates the ChromeOS operating system every 6 weeks or so.  See the schedule here:
