HOW TO Fix "Inconsistent Google Update Group Policy Settings"!
Note: Thanks to Kn1cknackz0 for pointing out that before you attempt this fix, please make sure all Chrome processes have been stopped. To do this, head to your Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del, 'Task Manager'), click the 'Processes' tab, and click 'End Task/End Process' (depending on your Windows version). Hope this helps!
The error in question: "Update failed (error: 7)An error occurred while checking for updates: Google Chrome cannot be updated due to inconsistent Google Update Group Policy settings. Use the Group Policy Editor to set the update policy override for the Google Chrome Binaries application and try again; see http://goo.gl/uJ9gV for details." Here's my fix.
I'm betting its happening on Windows 7/8 Home Editions, since they do not have an important system file called gpedit.msc (group policy edit). This is Microsoft's way of weeding out your old operating system, trying to make you upgrade to a new one.
