You have to log out off Windows and start the update again, as windows still has processes running in the background. 👍

My computer is being shut off every night and back on in the morning. I
have tested today and got the same error. I get this error with every
Chrome update.

This sounds like the same thing reported in  issue 694023 . Please take a look at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=694023#c3 and try the steps there; report your findings here.

Out of curiosity, did you install Chrome from https://chrome.google.com/ from the get-go? Have you done anything to try to disable Google Update? If you haven't, perhaps some other software on your computer has tampered with Google Update.

I did install from the original source from the beginning. It is
possible some software on my computer doesn't like Google Chrome. Would
disabling Google update help and how do I go about doing that?

Thank you!

Disabling Google Update is certainly not the right thing to do. Try the steps in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=694023#c3 and see if they help.

I have tried to reinstall with every previous unuseful update. Didn't help.

Did you try the second suggestion in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=694023#c3?

Is Chrome installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome or in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome?

Could you try this from a cmd prompt to see if the relevant COM class for Google Update is registered:

reg query HKLM\Software /s /f 8A1D4361-2C08-4700-A351-3EAA9CBFF5E4

Hello,
I didn't try second suggestion. I'm not that tech savvy and afraid to mess
up my computer. I can certainly remove and download programs, but nothing
further that involves cmd prompt or anything deeper than that.
here's where GoggleUpdate is in my computer C:\Program Files
(x86)\Google\Update. Not sure how else I can be helpful.

Thank you very much!

Ganesh: do you have any ideas on how to move forward here? Thanks.

If it is a question for me the answer is no.
Thank you,
