Uninstall Google Chrome
Dear all, Can I check here, how can we uninstall/remove the Chrome browser by Intune? What I've tried: Previously, I created a Google Chrome App configuration profile, to push to all the devices. ...
- Hi, normally the option you have chosen, should work. Thats also the first one I would try. Another possibility would be a powershell script or maybe even better convert this one to a proactive remediation script!
$SEARCH = 'chrome$'
$INSTALLED = Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, UninstallString
$INSTALLED += Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, UninstallString
$RESULT = $INSTALLED | ?{ $_.DisplayName -ne $null } | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -match $SEARCH }
if ($RESULT.uninstallstring -like "msiexec*") {
$ARGS=(($RESULT.UninstallString -split ' ')[1] -replace '/I','/X ') + ' /q'
Start-Process msiexec.exe -ArgumentList $ARGS -Wait
} else {
$UNINSTALL_COMMAND=(($RESULT.UninstallString -split '\"')[1])
$UNINSTALL_ARGS=(($RESULT.UninstallString -split '\"')[2]) + ' --force-uninstall'
Start-Process $UNINSTALL_COMMAND -ArgumentList $UNINSTALL_ARGS -Wait
}

Hi Rudy_Ooms_MVP Thanks! I have remove the group from the App configuration profile. I created a script profile.
I will update u with the outcome. Cheers 👍
- Hi Rudy,
This script does not remove the exe for Chrome.
Any suggestions?
Regards- Which exe? Which part of the script is not working? If there are limited number of versions installed then you can simplify the script and just use uninstall strings in one liners in form of msiexec /x {guid} /qn
