Two weeks ago, the Chrome OS team pulled the trigger on the update to version 68 of our favorite operating system but alas, all was not well. In the days following, most users were able to receive the update but a nasty bug promted the team of developers to halt the release due some pretty serious wifi connectivity issues surrounding the 802.11r Fast BSS Transition Support in the update.
At this point, I was beginning to think Google was going to just forgo re-releasing version 68 to the update server since the launch of Chrome OS 69 is just a couple of weeks away.
That is not the case.
The Chrome Release Blog has announced an updated version of Chrome OS 68 and it appears to be live for a number of devices. For most, the original update to Chrome OS 68 was likely installed on your Chromebook and if you didn’t have any wifi issues, life has moved on as normal.
If you missed the update or was forced to revert to 67, a fresh(hopefully bug-free) version of Chrome OS 68 is coming down the pike. Like most releases as of late, only a portion of devices are listed to receive the update with the rest of us likely to see it in early next week.
Below you will find the devices that have had version 68.0.3440.118 of Chrome OS pushed to the update server. If you’re on the list, time to mash that update button.
