People use Google Chrome browser the most and the majority of these users make it the default browser. Google chrome was officially released in the year 2008. Over time, Google has consistently improved this platform. And this quest for improvement has led them to continuously update Chrome. Most of these updates are done in the background, without the knowledge of the user, and it does not require any contribution from the user.<\/p>\n
What are Chrome components?<\/h2>\n
These are specific or individual components of chrome that are not so visible yet they perform very important tasks from the background. In fact, they are the brain behind those other features you see on Chrome, and each of them has specific tasks they take care of. These are all geared towards improving the user experience. For instance \u201cWidevine Content Decryption Module\u201d is a Chrome component that allows the browser to play Video with digital rights. Hence, if for any reason something goes wrong with this component, like when it is not updated, you will be unable to play digital rights-protected videos on your Chrome browser. A few other Chrome components are Chrome Improved Recovery, Adobe Flash Player, and PNaCl, Swift Shader and many more.<\/p>\n
\n
The Adobe Flash Player component sees to it that the Adobe Flash Player on your Chrome browser is functioning well.<\/li>\n
The Chrome Improved Recovery component is mostly used to repair any damage that happens while installing Google Chrome and to see to it that Google Chrome is installed accurately in the first place.<\/li>\n
The Portable Native Client(PNaCl) is mostly used by developers to running certain unfamiliar codes in the Chrome Secure Sandbox.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

![image source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\nMost of the issues the browser usually have is as a result of lack of update. It might interest you to know that Google Chrome constantly updates itself whenever there is a new update, and this usually takes place in the background without the knowledge of the user. Of course, the reason for the update is to keep your system in tune and smooth running. Nevertheless, most times after an update you still discover that some issues still persist, such as frequent crashing of the browser. This is because certain individual Chrome components are still not updated and there is no way to check and update them individually.<\/p>\nThe good news is that Chrome now has a solution for this. All these individual Chrome components can now be viewed on a single page called the Chrome Components Page,<\/strong> and from there you can update the ones that require updating. The process the simple one. Just follow the steps below:<\/p>\nStep 1.<\/strong> Open Google Chrome browser on your computer<\/p>\nStep 2.<\/strong> Type in \u201cchrome:\/\/components<\/strong>\u201d in the search bar of the browser<\/p>\nStep 3.<\/strong> A single page containing the list of all the Chrome components will show<\/p>\nStep 4.<\/strong> You can now individually check the ones that need update and update them<\/p>\nOther Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\nHow do I turn on auto-updates in Chrome?<\/strong><\/h3>\nStep 1.<\/strong> Before you start this process, you have to first shut down Google Chrome.<\/p>\nStep 2.<\/strong> On your keyboard, type Windows Key + R, <\/strong>to reveal the run dialogue box<\/p>\nStep 3.<\/strong> Type msconfig <\/strong>into the new window, and press Ok<\/p>\nStep 4.<\/strong> A new window will come up, and that is the System Configuration<\/strong> window.
