Disable "chrome is out of date" notification

I have a touchscreen application optimised and running in a Chrome kiosk mode. It runs totally offline and due to some updates to Chrome breaking the application I've had to lock it to a fixed version of Chrome (v37.x). I've been able to prevent Chrome from auto-updating itself using the ADM/gpedit methods (http://www.wikihow.com/Completely-Disable-Google-Chrome-Update), but Chrome is now displaying a message on screen to say it is out of date.

Chrom is out of date message

Has anybody been able to find a way to disable this notification?

How do I get Chrome to stop asking me to update?

Go to "msconfig" from Win+R. Go to Service tab. Uncheck both "Google Update Service" boxes. Click OK and Restart computer to save changes.

How do I get Chrome to stop asking who's using?

Google Chrome provides a direct option to disable “Who's using Chrome” on the profile selector screen itself, as shown below. Step 1: Open Chrome- you will now see the Chrome profile selector. Step 2: On the profile selector window, uncheck the checkbox for Show on startup at the bottom right.

What does it mean when it says Chrome is out of date?

If Chrome is out of date it will either provide you with a button to check for updates or run them automatically depending on your settings. After checking for updates it will automatically install them and provide a button to relaunch. Repeat until Chrome is up to date.

We had same problem, but one of my colleagues got the answer (so far OK).

We are using Windows so batch file in startup for start chrome with incognito kiosk and update interval.

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application

start chrome.exe --incognito --window-position=0,0 --kiosk --check-for-update-interval=604800 "facebook.com"

exit    

--check-for-update-interval= 7days we are restarting the PC every day so update never tiger.

This command line switch is specified here.
