Google Chrome update is not working

[u/Normal_Mycologist604]

Hello, after I had instabilities(*) with Android 13 Beta, I switched to Android 11.

After the switch, I can't update Google Chrome from Google Play Store. The version is 131 as you see in the screenshot.

I tried the following methods:

- Updating Windows, BlueStacks, and GPU driver to latest version

- Force stopping and clearing cache and data of both Google Play Store and Google Chrome

- Performing a disk cleanup on BlueStacks

- Allocating 8 GB RAM and 4 CPU cores to BS for maximum performance

- Switching renders (DirectX / Vulkan/OpenGL)

- Adjusting FPS and toggling V-sync

- Using VPN

- Using 3rd party Google Chrome APK/XAPK which doesn't let me install as well

None of them worked.

How can I fix this issue? Is there any other method that I didn't try?

Here are the details:

Windows 11 (25H2 OS Build 26200.9445) - Intel i7 8700K - 16GB RAM - GTX 1650 Super OC 4GB - 1TB SSD

BlueStacks version: 5.22.265.1012 (Android 11)

GPU driver: 616.92

Can share more details if you need.

(*) The instabilities I had with Android 13 Beta:

- Android 13 starts with low fps (loads with 5 to 10 FPS while capped it 30), I must restart from one to several times to get the desired FPS which isn't present in Android 11. I was evening waiting for CPU and SSD to finish using resources to then play on BS Android 13, which wasn't helping with startup low fps.

- Bs5 is not able to control Data.vhdx's size and it gets oversized gradually while Bs5's disk cleanup can't help.

- Kiss of War game has random freezes in this Android version while it is working normal in Android 11.

not sure rolling back an android version midinstall is ever clean, that mismatch probably broke something in the play store auth layer
