Chrome browser on Windows OS automatically updates to latest version on regular basis because of a service “Google Update” running in the background. So if anyone uses chrome browser for surfing or streaming on the internet, it will be the latest version anyway. I don’t get the point of this advisory.
Forget about the point of this advisory. Just feel your cabinet division is doing something with regards to CVEs… Don’t know why is this even a news
