如何修复错误代码 7 ： ^{(Error Code 7)}Chrome上的 0x80040801

我们还了解到，某些用户可能会因Google Chrome安装损坏或Windows 防火墙^{(Windows Firewall)}阻止更新程序执行其操作而面临问题。此外，Chrome更新程序可能已被禁用，我们不希望这样。

在本文中，我们将讨论解决此问题的多种方法，因此希望至少有一个选项对您有效。在开始之前，请确保您的互联网连接^{(internet connection)}正常工作。

1. 在Windows 防火墙中将^{(Windows Firewall)}Google Chrome 更新服务^{(Google Chrome Update Service)}列入白名单
2. 强制启动谷歌更新服务^{(Google Update Service)}
3. 重新安装谷歌浏览器

让我们从更详细的角度谈谈修复这个错误。

1]在Windows防火墙中将^{(Windows Firewall)}Google Chrome更新服务列入白名单^{(Whitelist Google Chrome Update Service)}

您应该做的第一件事是确保防火墙^(Firewall)不会对更新服务构成威胁。为了完成此任务，请继续并启动Windows 防火墙^{(Windows Firewall)}工具。您可以通过在任务栏^(Taskbar)上的搜索框中键入Windows Defender Firewall来执行此操作，然后在搜索结果中出现时选择它。

从那里，您需要选择Allow apps and feature through Windows Defender Firewall。

从这里，搜索googleupdate.exe并允许它通过防火墙^(Firewall)。完成后，继续检查错误代码 7^{(Error Code 7)} : 0x80040801 是否仍然存在。^(Once)

2]强制启动^(Start)谷歌更新服务^{(Google Update Service)}

如果上述选项不起作用，我们建议通过Services.msc启用^{(Services.msc)}Google 更新^{(Google Update Service)}服务。在许多情况下，更新服务会自动启用自身，但在某些情况下这根本不会发生。

现在，为了启用它，请单击Windows key + R启动“运行”^(Run)对话框，然后在搜索区域中键入Services.msc 。最后，按Enter键打开“服务”菜单。

从那里，通过“服务^(Services)”菜单查找Google 更新服务^{(Google Update Services)}(gupdate) 。右键单击它并确保选择Properties。现在，从General选项卡中，您需要将Startup type更改为Automatic (Delayed Start)。

最后，单击Start > Apply以启动更改。

下一步是返回服务^(Services)菜单并搜索Google 更新服务^{(Google Update Services)}(gupdatem)。执行相同的步骤，然后在完成后重新启动计算机。

3]重新安装谷歌浏览器

如果上述选项不起作用，最好的办法是立即重新安装Google Chrome网络浏览器。

在重新安装之前，您首先要删除缓存文件夹，以确保不会将损坏带入新安装。

首先，关闭Google Chrome，然后从那里通过选择Windows key + R运行”^(Run)对话框。

在框中键入以下命令：

%localappdata%

按键盘上的Enter键。打开本地应用程序数据文件夹后，查找Chrome文件夹并将其从您的计算机中删除。

最后，卸载网络浏览器，访问官方谷歌浏览器^{(Google Chrome)}页面并重新下载流行的网络浏览器。现在，安装后，重新启动您的网络浏览器并检查这是否仍然是一个问题。

How to fix Error Code 7: 0x80040801 on Chrome

We also understand that some users may face issues due to corrupted Google Chrome installation, or maybe the Windows Firewall is blocking the updater from doing its thing. Additionally, the Chrome updater is probably disabled, and we do not want that.

In this article, we are going to discuss multiple ways to solve this problem, so hopefully, at least one option works for you effectively. Before you begin, make sure that your internet connection is working properly.

1. Whitelist Google Chrome Update Service in Windows Firewall
2. Start the Google Update Service by force
3. Reinstall Google Chrome

Let us talk about fixing this error from a more detailed perspective.

1] Whitelist Google Chrome Update Service in Windows Firewall

The first thing you should do is to make sure the Firewall poses no threat to the update service. In order to accomplish this task, go on ahead and launch the Windows Firewall tool. You can do this by typing Windows Defender Firewall into the search box on the Taskbar, then select it when it comes up in the search results.

From there, you will need to select Allow apps and feature through Windows Defender Firewall.

From here, search for googleupdate.exe and allow it through the Firewall. Once that is done, go ahead and check if Error Code 7: 0x80040801 persists.

2] Start the Google Update Service by force

If the above option fails to work, we suggest enabling the Google Update Service via Services.msc. In many instances, the update service automatically enables itself, but there are situations where this doesn’t happen at all.

Now, in order to enable it, please click on the Windows key + R to fire up the Run dialog box, then type Services.msc into the search area. Finally, hit the Enter key to open the Services menu.

From there, look for Google Update Services (gupdate) via the Services menu. Right-click on this and be sure to select Properties. Now, from the General tab, you will want to change the Startup type to Automatic (Delayed Start).

Finally, click on Start > Apply to initiate the changes.

The next step is to return to the Services menu and search for Google Update Services (gupdatem). Perform the same steps, then restart your computer when you’re done.

3] Reinstall Google Chrome

Should the above options fail to work, your best bet is to reinstall the Google Chrome web browser promptly.

Before reinstallation, you will first want to delete the cache folder to ensure no corruption is brought over to the new installation.

To begin, close Google Chrome, and from there, open the Run dialog box right away by selecting Windows key + R.

Type the following command into the box:

%localappdata%

Hit the Enter key on your keyboard. Once the local app data folder has opened, look for the Chrome folder and delete it from your computer.

Finally, uninstall the web browser, visit the official Google Chrome page and redownload the popular web browser. Now, after installation, restart your web browser and check if it this is still an issue.
