If you were Using Windows Machine :

Navigate to run command by pressing windows+r

Enter "regedit" and press Enter

Set the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update\UpdateDefault to the REG_DWORD value of "1".

For further info, you can consult this article: Control Chrome auto updates

8If you have any keys that look like Update{some-guid-here} then those need to be renamed/removed as well. Might be a new thing since this was answered, as I haven't found reference to it anywhere else on the net. – Brian Reischl – 2016-03-21T14:14:01.423
