Does ANYONE know if you can do "Windows Update" through GOOGLE Chrome browser? OjasNo, Windows Update is only for Operating System related updates. To update Google Chrome, hit the wrench, then "About Google Chrome"He means will it run on another browser i believe...
And the answer is no.
Use IE.Or just use the separate standalone Update applet.

The last Version of windows that required IE- or a browser at all- for updates was either windows 98SE or Windows 2000. XP,Vista, and 7 have their own specific programs for managing updates and the downloading and installation of updates.I THOUGHT XP needed IE and ActiveX for updating...Yeah, when I launch windows update on my XP computer, IE opens. Just CHECKED, seems that it only downloads important/critical/security updates. It does so without requiring ActiveX or IE; those are pretty much reserved for the "optional" updates that are (IMO) entirely useless. The funny thing is the ActiveX Control could have easily just been made a standalone executable. They just artificially coupled it to both the site as well as to their browser for- obvious reasons. At least Vista and 7 have the entire thing decoupled. You can get a similar applet for XP (separate, LISTS available updates, etc) here.
