Here's how you can update Chrome  
    
    
Updates automatically  Chrome checks for new updates regularly, and when an update is available, Chrome applies it automatically when you close and reopen the browser. 
                                                                                                Get more

Applying a pending update  
If you haven’t closed your browser in a while, you might see a pending update in the top-right corner of your browser, next to your profile picture. 
Chrome will automatically update the next time you close and reopen Chrome. But if you want to apply the update right away, just click the three dots to the right of the message and select the first menu item.
