While installing Google Applications GoogleUpdate.exe is automatically installed that prompts you for updates for different Google applications and programs. The updater runs in background and uses computer CPU and memory that slows down the computer. Follow simple steps below to disable the Google updater.



1. Press start button or vista icon in Window Vista and navigate to

    Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks

2. Select GoogleUpdateTaskUser

3. Click on the Delete link to remove it. Confirm when the dialog box appears. This will prevent the task from re-launching itself. You may use you keyboard ‘Delete’ button to accomplish the task.

4. Now, remove the active process for Google Updater, right-click on the taskbar and select Task Manager from the context menu.

5. In task manager, search for GoogleUpdate.exe and press the End Process button.

    Arrêtez avec vos traduction google à deux balles, si vous voulez poster un tuto pour virer google update, prenez le temps de chercher à quoi correspond le control panel (grosssièrement traduit en panneau de comande au lieu de panneau de configuration, tout simplement) et le scheduled tasks qui correspond aux tâches planifiées et non programmées... Je ne pense pas que les français soient nombreux à configurer leur pc en anglais

    probando si funciona, encontre el proceso donde tu dices, lo deshabilite y elimine. Es una pena que google haga este tipo de cosas, instalar elementos sin antes pedir el permiso de los usuarios. son muy descarados. (por usar palabras agradables). Gracias por la ayuda, espero que funcione

  • You need to check whether the Task Scheduler services in Services.msc, is all set to Automatic and is running. To do so follow the steps below -

    1.Navigate to Start -> Run -> Type: ‘services.msc’ (without quotes) and then Click OK
    2.Search for Task Scheduler and double click on it
    3.Set the startup type to Automatic and then Click Apply
    4.Click the Start button to start the service and then click OK
    5.Close Services

    If the Scheduled Tasks folder is itself missing from control panel or from services.msc or from start menu then follow the steps below to reinstall tasks-

    1.Navigate to Start -> Run -> Type or paste: %windir%\inf and then click OK.
    2.Scroll down to mstask.inf and Right click mstask.inf and select Install.
    3.Reboot your machine. The tasks should now be visible.

    Let me know if it solves your problem.
