Chrome Silent Installer won't work on Windows 10

Reported by hisharap...@gmail.com, Apr 17 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.75 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. In Windows 10, download Google Chrome normal latest installer.
2. Open Command Prompt and type "start C:/Google_Chrome.exe /silent /install
3. Open the Task Manager and look for a process called "Google Update Setup (32 bit)"
4. The process is starting but it is ending immediately without installing the Chrome.

What is the expected behavior?
Google Chrome should be installed in Windows 10 using this command and it should open the Welcome page.

What went wrong?
I downloaded the normal latest standalone Google Chrome installer from site and placed in C:/.
Opened the Command Prompt in Windows 10 and typed :
start C:/Google_Chrome.exe /silent /install.
The Google Update Setup started in Task Manager and remained for few seconds then it was ended.
I tried doing so several times but the process ends.
But the problem is this method works properly in Windows 7.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.75  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.01 th 1 release
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

Google Chrome Standalone Installer (.exe) may be incomaptible with silent install in Windwos 10.

Unable to reproduce. How did you acquire the standalone installer? I tried:
1. Google search for "google chrome offline installer"
2. Click first result for https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/126299?hl=en
3. Click third link for http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?system=true&standalone=1

I also had the impression the silent installer in Win10 did nothing. But apparently, it did install the gupdate service, and after a reboot, Chrome was installed. Very annoying that the installer switches seem undocumented ( /? does nothing ), and that the downloaded installer always has the same name, without any type or version info.

Still unable to reproduce: "ChromeStandaloneSetup.exe /silent /install" works as advertised on Windows 10 in all of my tests.
