Summary

Users are currently facing issues installing Google Chrome on Windows due to a broken installer. When attempting to install, a message appears stating 'This app can’t run on your PC.' This issue is affecting both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The problem seems to stem from Google accidentally uploading the ARM version of the Chrome installer instead of the x86 version, which is more commonly used on Windows PCs. The installer works correctly on ARM-based devices but fails on x86 systems. Manually moving the file downloaded on an x86 system to an ARM device confirms this issue.

Google is aware of the problem, and it is likely to be a temporary issue. Users can still download the 'standalone' installer as a workaround. The article also mentions recent Chrome updates, including policy changes that restrict shady affiliate extensions and enhanced safe browsing features.
