Description

Notify users that Google Chrome must be relaunched or Google ChromeOS must be restarted to apply a pending update.

This policy setting enables notifications to inform the user that a browser relaunch or device restart is recommended or required. If not set, Google Chrome indicates to the user that a relaunch is needed via subtle changes to its menu, while Google ChromeOS indicates such via a notification in the system tray. If set to 'Recommended', a recurring warning will be shown to the user that a relaunch is recommended. The user can dismiss this warning to defer the relaunch. If set to 'Required', a recurring warning will be shown to the user indicating that a browser relaunch will be forced once the notification period passes. The default period is seven days for Google Chrome and four days for Google ChromeOS, and may be configured via the RelaunchNotificationPeriod policy setting.

The user's session is restored following the relaunch/restart.
