Among the fairly common ones is error 3. A similar inscription on the monitor indicates that it was not possible to connect to the update server. It is possible that the situation is due to the fact that the browser can only be run as an administrator. For security reasons, Google does not recommend such settings.

Error 1 indicates that the browser cannot be updated in the current section. To fix it, first look at the browser version in the About browser section. If there are several at once, then it is obvious that the necessary files have already been removed from the directory. They will need to be restored.
How to remove the error
If an error occurs, updates are disabled by the administrator, google chrome will stop automatically installing new versions of the browser. If this does not suit you, then you can use one of the following options. The first of them is to completely remove the Internet browser from the computer. To do this, you need to use the Programs and Features tool in the Start menu. After all browser elements are deleted, you will need to re-.
The second option is much more difficult - you will need to correct the values in the registry. If you are not very friendly with technology and perform a similar procedure for the first time, then everything should be done very carefully. Never make changes or delete values that you do not know about. In order to get into the Registry in the search bar, enter the regedit command. The next step is to find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE folder. Here we go to the Policies branch and consistently follow the path Goo gle\Update.
In the folder that opens, you need to delete the Update key, which has a value of 0. This command symbolizes the ban on updating google chrome. If this parameter is set to 1, it means that updates for the application are allowed in any situation. The number 2 will indicate the possibility of only manual installation new version.
It is not recommended to turn off automatic updating of the Internet browser. Indeed, with the function enabled, new versions of the application, which are more stable, will be available almost immediately after the release. Of course, the user can slightly change the settings by setting them in the way that suits him. For example, you can delay automatic update. This setting is convenient and is recommended for low Internet speeds.

Greetings!
While working in the browser, you noticed that the search engine has been changed, and without your knowledge. And for the place of the well-known Google or Yandex, now when you try to enter one or another search query a completely different search engine opens, in which the search results are often unsatisfactory.
The natural desire in this situation is the return of a long-familiar and popular search engine Google or Yandex. You go to your browser settings to change the search engine, but you can't do it. When you try to switch the search engine, a message is displayed that "This setting is enforced by your administrator" (the English version of this message is "This setting is enforced by your administrator").
We will solve this problem in this material.
Why did the message "This setting is enabled by the administrator" appear in the browser
An unauthorized change in the search engine occurred due to the activity of any application that was running on your computer and had malicious or unwanted elements in its composition.
As a result, in system settings parameters were prescribed, which caused the blocking of the search engine change in the browser.
How to remove "This setting is enabled by the administrator" and change the search engine
We will remove the previously prescribed parameters that led to the prohibition of changing the search engine in the Internet browser. The browser itself must be closed at the time of manipulation.
If after the performed manipulations the problem remains, then this means that in addition to the parameters in group policies, the parameters in the registry were additionally registered. In the next step, we will remove them too.
It is worth noting that if you do not have anti-virus software or the malware databases used by it have not been updated for a long time, then the problem with an unauthorized change of the search engine in the browser may recur. Always use antivirus software and keep it up to date.
If you are not currently planning to install an antivirus software, then you can still check the system, using for this free and working without actually installing it into the system
Website promotion is not an easy task, especially in a segment where there are already "giants" who do not plan to give users and customers to competitors. This also applies to search engines, each of which tries to fight for its own visitors, but when there are such big players on the Internet as Google, Yandex, Bing and others, it is difficult to fight them with fair methods. In such a situation, the creators of new search engines, in an effort to get traffic, begin to come up with methods to promote their resource, including imposing on users.
The yamdex net search engine actively uses the methods of "black" promotion. It is installed by default in Chrome browser, after which it forbids the user to change himself. When trying to change the default search engine in Google Chrome, the user sees a message that this setting has been enabled by the administrator. This restriction can be removed, and we will explain how to do this below.
Why does the message "This setting has been enabled by your administrator" appear?
Message stating that the parameter to block the change of the search engine in Google browser Chrome is turned on by the administrator, causing bewilderment directly from computer owners. The output of this message is provided by Google in the event that the user has limited rights, for example, for an employee on a work computer.
If the computer administrator sees a similar message, it means that changes have been made to the basic settings of the browser. At the same time, removal and re- Google installation Chrome will not help to solve the problem, since most of the parameters remain written to the registry when uninstalling the program, and it is there that changes are made when such an error occurs. It is much easier to get rid of the problem "manually" by changing to the basic necessary values.
To get rid of the annoying error in the browser, you need to do the following:
- Run and write the following command in it:
When the command is registered, press Enter, and the general user group policy rules will be removed from the computer. 
- Next write in command line following:
Pressing Enter will clear the Group Policy rules for the specific user that is in the computer. this moment works with a computer.
- The third step is to write the command:
Press Enter, and after that the information about group policies on the computer will be updated.
Next, you should try launching the Chrome browser and see if the error "This setting has been enabled by the administrator" remains. If the error is gone, you can set your preferred default search engine. In the event that the problem could not be solved, it is necessary to proceed to the next paragraph of the instruction.
- Press the key combination Windows + R on your keyboard to bring up the “Run” line, and write in it regedit. This command allows you to open the registry editor, where you need to make changes to the settings responsible for the browser.
- In the left menu, go to the tab:
As you can see, removing the message in Chrome that this setting is enabled by the administrator is quite simple. For more similar error did not occur, we recommend installing games and programs from trusted sources. Be sure to always check the installation parameters during the installation process.
