If you are having trouble using any of our products on a Chromebook, the following steps will help ensure your device and applications are up-to-date. The steps may vary slightly depending upon the configuration of your Chromebook.
- Go to your devices Settings and open it.
- Select About Chrome OS.
- Click Check for Updates on the pop-up menu.
- If your operating system is out of date, you’ll see an option to update it.
Ensure your Chrome browser is up-do-date:
- Click the settings button (three dots) in the top right corner of Chrome
- Move your mouse cursor to Help and then choose About Google Chrome
- Chrome will check for updates. If any are available, click to update and restart your Chromebook when the update is completed. If your Chromebook is up-to-date, you will receive a message that “Google Chrome is up-to-date”.
If you find that the problem persists with your system updated, try downloading Mozilla Firefox and use that browser to access your work instead.
- Open Google Chrome browser
- Click the Google Apps icon at the top right (9 dots arranged as a square)
- Click Google Play
- Search for Firefox
- Select Install
- Once it’s installed, click Open
