I’m using a non-standard 125% Windows DPI, it could be why they are ugly for me. Solution, as quoted from here: type "chrome://flags/#disable-direct-write" in your Chrome window and click "Enable" on "Disable DirectWrite". DirectWrite should be off.Victor Zakharovchrome/posts/2012-08-12-update-chrom-fail-group-policy/Sun, 12 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0000neolisk@gmail.com (Victor Zakharov)Sat, 05 Jun 2021 11:36:56 -0400/posts/2012-08-12-update-chrom-fail-group-policy/It appears that Google Chrome provides a solution for this, available at this link. Unfortunately, it did not work for me, because all options were already set to Not configured and it still could not update. What I did was navigate to registry at HKLM/Software/Policies/Google and delete the Update folder under that. Restarted Chrome, retried updating and it worked flawlessly.Victor Zakharovchromesoftware
