By any chance do you have less than 4GB of memory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2017/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_9.html)? Installing from this URL should force the x64 install: https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/?platform=win64

If you find that that doesn't work, please paste in the full text of the version string from chrome://version/. Thanks.

This is because old installers (before around May 2017) were not aware of the 64-bit transition so were tagged as "let Chrome decide the bitness" and you likely have fewer than 4Gb of memory so are being defaulted to 32-bit.

I recommend you download a new 64-bit tagged installer from the main download page and select 64-bit - or use this direct link:

https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html?platform=win64

this will install the 64-bit version of Chrome assuming that you are running on a 64-bit platform and are running Windows 7 or above (we do not support 64-bit on Vista/XP).

If you are still having issues, please reply on the bug.

Hi,

I have 16gb memory in my machine and OS is windows 7 64bit. I know how to download 64bit chrome directly and install, but the issue is you already have 64 bit chrome and you update the latest version of chrome it's updating 32 bit(it's a defect).

Thanks

can you attach "64-bit old version" installer from your comment #0

Please find the attached file

That's tagged with ap=x64-stable-statsdef_1, so we would expect it to stay on the 64-bit track.

Could you please copy-n-paste the exact version string in chrome://version/? For example, my current canary says:

61.0.3143.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit) (cohort: 64-Bit)

Thanks.

I concur with #9 - this installer is tagged correctly and should be installing 64-bit. I have even verified this install on a Windows 8.1 machine and it correctly installed 64-bit.

Can you check that you are not running Chrome under compatibility mode, perhaps it believes it is not Win7?

if you go to chrome://system/ what shows in "OS VERSION"?

Hi

OS version - Windows 8.1 machine
