does typing chrome://restart into the omnibox cause chrome to restart?

I am not facing this issue after chrome updated to more latest version.
I will have to check this when I face this issue again.

Normally typing chrome://restart does work.

Okay, please reply if it happens again. When it does happen, does clicking the Relaunch button in chrome://help do nothing at all, or does Chrome seem to take *some* steps toward restarting (such as closing some windows)?

Normally I always first check to update chrome after opening the window but When fail to do so sometimes chromes shows at the "customize and control google chrome menu" to relaunch to get update.

Sometimes chrome relaunch normally, other times it just closes the whole window and doesn't relaunch and If I again launch chrome, It still shows to relaunch chrome and doesn't get updated!

I will try to use chrome://restart, when face this issue, and will report too.

Thanks. I look forward to hearing how chrome://restart fares the next time there is an update available.

abhinickz6@ could you please let us know your observations after updating the canary to the latest versions.

Thank You...

So chrome has updated to this version: 59.0.3055.0 but still I didn't face this issue yet. I will update further if this happens again!!

So I faced this issue again and chrome://restart doesn't work, I have to again open chrome from the shortcut.

Version 60.0.3072.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit).

I have also attached an image which shows me to update Google chrome by relaunching.

When relaunching results in all windows closing but Chrome not updating to the next version, would you please check Task Manager or Process Explorer to see if there are any lingering chrome.exe processes? Perhaps Chrome isn't completely shutting down during the restart, so it just opens up new windows in the old process. If you do find lingering chrome.exe procs, please report back the command line arguments for them. This will help figure out what is going on. Thanks.

Will do on facing this issue again.

This Time (Version 60.0.3078.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit)) I clicked the relaunch button and also chrome://restart and both time I could see that some chrome processes were running in background (see attached picture), When I manually killed all the processes and open chrome It was already updated.

Let me know If I need to do anything else for feedback.

Thanks for that. It would help to know the command line arguments for the lingering processes. If you right-click on a column name in Task Manager and choose "Select columns", you can turn on the "Command Line" column.

I've had this problem for a *long* time.  I've always had to go into the Chrome folder (Windows 7 64-bit) and simply dump the chrome.exe and replace it with the newest version.  I've attached my "debug.log" file from the Chrome folder.  This has happened with every Chrome update.

Thanks for the log file. It doesn't provide anything useful in this case. Do you find that there are lingering processes when you quit Chrome (see comment 14)?

Yes, there are several remaining PIDs still active when I press the "RELAUNCH" button.  Only one PID disappears and the remaining 5 don't close out.  Oddly, when I launch Chrome, I get (6) chrome.exe PIDs.  Then one will terminate.  So I'm left with (5)... when I close Chrome they all terminate gracefully.

Here is my command line:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --enable-native-gpu-memory-buffers --flag-switches-begin --enable-zero-copy --ignore-gpu-blacklist --enable-features=WebRTC-H264WithOpenH264FFmpeg --flag-switches-end

Just FYI, in the previous update (not today) the issue for me has been resolved.  My chrome browser is updating automatically and without issue.

That's great. Thanks for letting us know. I wonder what was getting in the way before...

As per comment #24, Closing this issue
