Best I can give you is what is documented for TestComplete:

New versions of Chrome are released frequently. If the browser’s auto-update feature is enabled, it can automatically upgrade Chrome to a version that is not yet supported by TestComplete.

To avoid this, we recommended that you disable the browser’s auto-update feature on the test machine and install the latest Chrome version that is supported by your version of TestComplete manually.

To disable the auto-update feature, do any of the following:

  • Use the Google Update ADM template as described on the Google Update for Enterprise web page and set the Administrative Templates | Google | Google Update | Applications | Google Chrome | Update policy override property to "Manual updates only" or to "Updates disabled".

  • Locate or create the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update\UpdateDefault registry value (REG_DWORD) and set it to "0".

  • Remove or rename the <Program Files>\Google\Update folder.

To learn which Chrome versions are supported by TestComplete, go to the Google Chrome Patches page.
