Google Chrome Updates

We are running some servers and need to run an older version of Chrome. The problem we are having is that Chrome updates to the latest version after a couple of days. So far I have done the following any other ideas are welcome as this is getting rather frustrating.

1. Disabled updates via chrome://plugins/
2. Removed Chrome Update tasks from task scheduler
3. Removed the C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Updates folder
4. Added the following registry keys.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update]
"Update{8A69D345-D564-463C-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}"=dword:00000000
"DisableAutoUpdateChecksCheckboxValue"=dword:00000001
"AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes"=dword:00000000
"UpdateDefault"=dword:00000000

5. We also added a GPO policy to disable Chrome updates.

Any other ideas would be great.

In several questions here, no one has found a way to prevent Chrome from updating.  It may be easier to fix the problem that you're seeing.
