Disable "chrome is out of date" notification

Question

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but Chrome is now displaying a message on screen to say it is out of date.

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

Answer 1

Ubuntu + Chrome

param that worked for me --simulate-outdated-no-au='Tue, 31 Dec 2099 23:59:59 GMT'

Full launch command: google-chrome --start-fullscreen --incognito --simulate-outdated-no-au='Tue, 31 Dec 2099 23:59:59 GMT' "http://127.0.0.1/" &

Answer 2

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.
