Chrome Stable Channel Update

So you were able to get .145 with those settings in place by updating via About Google Chrome?

 

Auto updates of Flash player (ActiveX or Plugin) are managed in Flash Player Settings Manager under Control Panels.

 

Does this control panel manage both system built-in flash ( Windows8 ) and Chrome Flash?

 

Yes. It centrally manages ActiveX and Plugins.

 

When I open up my Flash settings it doesn't recognize my Chrome installed plugin:

 

Strange. I have ActiveX and plugin detected as installed. Maybe a clean reinstallation of Flash Player would be a viable solution.

 

I don't have Flash installed. It is included in Windows 8 so there is no un/installation needed. I would have to do it manually as there is no uninstaller, but I guess I will skip it for now.

 

You most likely installed the Chrome plugin manually, which isn't recommended, as then it will use the NPAPI plugin rather than the PPAPI plugin that comes with flash.

Updating in Chrome is handled by Chrome, updating in IE on Win8 is handled by Windows update. Your previous statement is incorrect, the only time the "check now" option is usable is when you've manually installed flash.

If it's usable for you you're either using a browser that isn't Chrome or IE on Windows 8 and installed Flash manually. But if you are using one of those 2, uninstall Flash now.

 

I just grabbed (a few years back) installation file of Flash Player for IE and Opera/Chrome and installed the both. Since then the both are auto updated.

 

If you're using Chrome I recommend you uninstall it and use the one that comes with Chrome which is more secure.

 

Mine is updated now as well. Maybe they just took their time getting it out, although I have rebooted since the last time I checked.

I have all of those Google Update settings disabled, and I can't find a Flash Player Manager. You don't get it if you just use the Chrome plugin, right? I can configure some things via the online settings manager on Adobe's website, but there's nothing about updates.

And yes, the new version is in the Users folder. Ugh.

 

Thanks for the hint but I use Opera Chromium which is short of inbuilt Flash so no other chance than to keep it how it is.

 

I finally forced Flash Player to update to .145 on both of my W7 machines. This has been very frustrating, and to read the 66 comments on the Chromeblog, I can see right away that I am not the only one who was experiencing this componet updating snafu.
If anyone is still stuck on .125, let me know.

The Chrome team is delighted to announce the promotion of Chrome 37 to the stable channel for Windows, Mac and Linux. Chrome 37.0.2062.94 contains a number of fixes and improvements, including:

- DirectWrite support on Windows for improved font rendering
- A number of new apps/extension APIs
- Lots of under the hood changes for stability and performance

More info at the Chrome Blog

 

64 bit released as stable: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/thankyou.html?platform=win64

Going to reinstall new version.

 

.........The headline change in Chrome 37 will, for most, be the introduction of DirectWrite support for Windows. Aswe highlighted during its time on the beta channel this modern technology improves the appearance of font rendering on supported Windows systems, including Windows 7 and Windows 8. ...............http://www.omgchrome.com/google-chrome-37-arrives-improved-font-rendering-windows/

 

Font got larger for me. Must have reset to default. I'll go back in and change it when I feel like messing around with it.
I prefer not having to tweak settings... once they are set to my liking, duh.

 

Here is announcement on Chromium blog: http://blog.chromium.org/2014/08/64-bits-of-awesome-64-bit-windows_26.html

 

If anyone know how to make the font smaller without relying on an Experimental Flag that'd probably be removed, tell me.
