Q:

Google Chrome suddenly downgrades

Google Chrome downgrades itself to 26.0.1410.64
I uninstall, reinstall and it works great, running the latest version. But as soon as I close and reopen it, the message "Your profile could not be opened correctly" appears and it's already downgraded.
Once it does that, if I go to chrome://chrome/ it says that there was an error during update (error: 1).
The account sync only works fine when it is just installed, after this error it's only partially in sync.
I'm now running a full antivirus scan just in case. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Using Windows 7 64bit
UPDATE
Full scan with Avast turned out clean.
Spybot Search & Destroy too...

A:

Turns out that if you start installing programs on C: (The normal way) and later on change the Program Files directory (You would normally do this when using an SSD, to avoid filling it)
Google Chrome will update once to the new location, but it will keep on running the version on C:.
Basically I though it was downgrading itself, although it was just running the last version installed before I changed the Program Files directory.
A simple fix is to delete everything related to Chrome, reinstall, and then manually change the desktop and start menu links.
