At my company, we're stuck with a pretty outdated manual patch management system, which means all application updates have to be done by hand. We've noticed that some users install Google Chrome but then stop using it, leading to our vulnerability scans flagging their workstations because Chrome is outdated. I'm looking for alternatives to typical management tools to help keep Chrome updated. I've tried using a batch file to run the GoogleUpdate application, but it didn't work. What are my options?

You should check out Ninite Pro. It automates app updates, including Chrome, which could save you a lot of time.
I've had good luck using Heimdall on my personal laptop for automatic updates of third-party apps. For work, you might look into installing the Chrome enterprise MSI directly over existing installations. You could also set up Group Policy to enforce updates, although if users aren’t launching it, that won’t really help.
Have you considered using PowerShell? It might be more effective. Also, I recommend uninstalling the individual instances of Chrome and using the enterprise version instead. It could simplify things for you! PDQ could also be a good option altogether.
