Is there an official Group Policy (GPO) guide for Chrome after an upgrade that causes background processes? in my VM that I work on in UiPath

Hello everyone,

After an automatic update of Chrome, our RPA flows started to fail. The current issue is that the browser is leaving active processes running in the background** within the VM.

For the stability of the environment and to avoid affecting the UiPath extension, we do not want to make empirical changes to the global configuration.

Does anyone have a technical manual or the exact list of policies (GPOs) and parameters that need to be enabled or disabled to ensure compatibility of the bot with Chrome and avoid this behavior?

Thank you very much!

Check the BackgroundModeEnabled that controls the Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed.

Running this in cmd.exe as administrator should disable it.

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome" /v " BackgroundModeEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 0

Then check Chrome/Edge v149 impacts UiPath extensions installed via Group Policy
