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. ...
- Apr 12, 2022Hi, 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
}

The script I created apply to my colleague device is still failed. But my device this time round still succeeded. I checked my machine, cannot find the Chrome anymore.
Wondering to know, in future, if my device still want to install Chrome, is it I must create a new group assign to exclude? Or I need to create another script to allow me install the Chrome?

Yhis powershell script is only run once... so if you reinstall it again... it will still be installed.
When converting it to a proactive remediation... you could rerun it each hour to detect and uninstall it.. (targeting at a specific group)
