click on the wrench icon in the upper right and the click ‘About Google Chrome'. The dialog box will open and it should check Google's update servers and come back and tell you http://techlifeweb.com/how-to-fix-google-chrome-update-error-3-on-windows-7/ if you have the latest version. For me, however, I received this message: "Update Server not available (error 3)." Here is what worked to fix it for me in Windows 7: Close Google Chrome Click the Start Orb https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18087 In the search box, type CMD Click on the CMD icon and you will see the command window open Type: cd %localappdata%\google\update After you press enter, you cursor should now be in your google update directory Type: GoogleUpdate.exe /RegServer chrome update Running that only took a second. Open Google chrome and check ‘About Google Chrome' again and it should now check the update servers successfully.

First uninstall google chrome (add remove programs). Then in the chrome update server "start button" search box, type in Google updater and hit enter. When the updater comes up, under the second tab from the left "installed software", click on install more programs. check the box to install google chrome. Uncheck all the other programs that are checked (unless you want those too). It will install google chrome, but it will be an older version. When you run the older version of google chrome, it will be updating in the back ground. Then it will ask you to restart google chrome. You will now have the latest version and you will no longer get the Error 3. 🙂 Reply admin says: May 12, 2011 at 8:55 pm @Jim Thanks for the tips.

Have you tried the forum? http://is.gd/x4cOPH Reply Bob Zima says: June 26, 2011 at 6:47 pm The real problem with this error lies with the poor programming technique of the Google team. They should NEVER allow a user error (presuming there might be a user error) to effect their browser that a uninstall//reinstall cannot correct.

I have the same problem with the missing registry key as in Issue 18111. Tried reinstalling, still nothing. Comment 5 by petteri...@gmail.com, Dec 10 2009 Processing Update server not available (error: 3) also here. Instructions on the support page did not solve the case - GoogleUpdate.exe exists and is defined in the right place in registry. System environment is Windows XP/SP2.
