Chrome not updating past version 51.0.2704.103

Reported by john.b...@gmail.com, Jul 4 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2486.0 Safari/537.36 Edge/13.10586

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Configure Google update GPO, setting chrome and chrome binaries to "Automatic silent updates only"
2. Install Chrome version 51.0.2704.63 via the 32bit MSI installer.
3a. Force the Google Chrome update scheduled task to run
3b. Wait for the Google Chrome update scheduled task to run
4. Chrome will update but will only update to version 51.0.2704.103

What is the expected behavior?
I would expect chrome to update to the latest version of chrome currently available to the stable channel, version 51.0.2704.106

What went wrong?
I believe the auto updater is failing to recognize the correct version of chrome to install

Did this work before? Yes I would say it was working back in the 40.* versions of chrome

Chrome version: 51.0.2704.103m  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1

Everything is working as expected. Your clients have not received the update because of internal deployment decisions. They will update in time. We are working on better ways to communicate things like this to enterprise users. Apologies for the confusion.
We are now having the same issue with v 52 of google chrome ... is this still by design ? Why is the updating so slow for such a critical update ?

Thanks
John
Hello GRT,

what does "because of internal deployment decisions" actually mean? Is this
why our workstations are slowly getting v52 as well ? Is there a document
that explains these internal deployment decisions ?

thanks
John

We've started a conversation internally to see how we can better communicate the release rollout process. I hear that things are confusing now when we announce a new stable release, yet it takes a long time for your machines to update to it. I hope we can do something better in the future. Thanks for your feedback.
