How to update Yandex browser what to do. Updating Yandex Browser in two cool ways. YAB installation from scratch

Update Yandex Browser to latest version free is very easy. The program is distributed freely, as well as updates for it.

This is a high-quality and popular software, which in Russia is in second place in terms of downloads among browsers (after).

This is due to the fact that the program is convenient and simple, but at the same time efficient and functional.

About the browser

Update features

One of positive qualities of this browser - automatic update regardless of user actions.

No confirmation from the computer user is required to start the update process. The process takes place entirely in the background.

In addition, the browser does not require restarting the program or restarting the computer. This can be done at any convenient time. And after that, the updates will take effect.

In some cases, this feature may be disabled. Then it needs to be activated again. This can be done manually.

Likewise, this feature is disabled if the user does not want to refresh the browser.

After update

Automatic update of old version

The easiest way to install is an automatic update directly from your browser.

This method saves a lot of time.

But like manual update, it is only necessary for those whose browser does not install new versions on their own.

To start the upgrade in automatic mode do the following:

Start the existing version of this Internet browser;
After the program opens start page, click on the gear icon located at the top of the window, on the right side;
The settings menu will open - a long drop-down list with a lot of functions;
In it you need to find the item "About Browser" and click on it;
After that, a window will automatically open in which you can observe the process of searching for a new version of the browser;
After that, it will begin to install, the installation process will also be displayed in this window;
When the process is over, you will be prompted Restart browser to complete installation;
Press the button "Restart" and use the new version.

This algorithm works only in the oldest versions of the program. The new ones don't even have a gear icon.

Not to mention the differences in the entire internal interface. Therefore, you need to act differently.

Automatic update

Automatic update to new version

In newer versions, the update almost always happens on its own in the background. But if for some reason this did not happen, then the user should act like this:

In the top line, to the right of the "Close" and "Minimize" icons, you need to find an icon with several straight lines;
Click on the icon, you will see a drop-down list with a set of options;
Find the section in it "Additionally"(usually this is the last line) and click on it;
After that, a large context menu will open, in which there is an item "About the browser";
Click on this item;
The browser version will be indicated in the window that opens;
If the "Update" button is active, then the update is required, if not - then installed version- the newest;
Click on the "Update" button;
A notification will appear "Browser refresh in progress";
As soon as it disappears, you can click on the button "Restart".

After opening the browser, the new version will already be installed.

Update to new version

Downloading the new version

Not all users update.

Some are of the opinion that it is easier and more effective to simply remove the outdated program and download it again. But already updated.

And with free software (to which it belongs), there are no problems with this approach. In this case, the update process involves three steps:

Downloading a new version;
Removing the old version;
Installing a new version.

You need to download free software exclusively from the official website.

This is not only the most secure, but also ensures that the latest version is installed.

Because the newest version of the program is always presented on the official sites.

If the user has only one browser installed, then it is very important to download the program for subsequent installation.

To download, you need to go to the site www.browser.yandex.ru.

At home home page the site will have a noticeable dark gray field with an offer to download a browser.

You must click on the yellow "Download" button in this field.

After that, choose for which type of device you need a browser - smartphone, tablet or PC. Then start the download.

How to manually update Yandex Browser on a computer

Update instructions Yandex browser v manual mode.

Yandex Browser, like its main competitors, keeps up with the times. Yandex company regularly updates it by releasing new versions. If any errors or shortcomings are found, the browser update is revoked until the Yandex developers fix them. In this article, we will consider in detail how to update Yandex Browser, keeping it constantly up to date.

What is Yandex Browser

Yandex.Browser was developed by Yandex on the basis of the WebKit software engine, for which most web sites have been adapted today. This relatively recent Internet viewer is now competing successfully with Avant Browser, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Google chrome and other popular browsers.

To search, you can use both the usual search box and earlier open tabs and sections

Both the developers of web scripts (ready-made engines for quick site deployment, as, for example, on the WordPress service known to all bloggers), and the creators of small-page business card sites, for the deployment of which, only need basic knowledge of the HTML language, are guided by the WebKit technology.

Features of "Yandex Browser"

What are the main features of Yandex Browser that distinguish it from competitors? Note the following:

Improved search bar "Yandex", called by the developers "Smart Line". If, for example, you want to get an answer to the question "how to kiss correctly", then Yandex Browser will offer you several common query options, based on general search statistics.
Requests are selected on any device in the same way: the same as on the site yandex.ru
The "Zen" heading, which automatically composes and updates all kinds of subscriptions and is based on the individual statistics of the user's web surfing.
The selection "Zen" takes into account the personal statistics of searches for a particular user
When you first enter any site with a password, Yandex Browser will offer not only to save the password in Windows, but also to synchronize passwords to logins on the sites. For example, if you forgot passwords from your pages in social networks, then even after reinstall Windows and Yandex Browser, all previously saved logins and passwords will be loaded.

Why you need to update Yandex.Browser

Regular updating of any browser, including Yandex.Browser, is necessary, as this results in:

support of the most modern technologies underlying web programming and website page design;
protection against dangerous content: viruses, spyware, illegal / semi-legal advertisements, etc .;
support for the latest encryption algorithms for personal data to protect against interception by intruders.

To make sure you need updates, try to find and install the very first version of Yandex.Browser. You will immediately find that not all social media and portal functions will work correctly. Also, if the site is well known (for example, news portal) and implemented correctly, then you will receive a message that your browser is out of date.

How to determine and update the version of "Yandex Browser"

There are several ways to update Yandex.Browser:

across software interface Yandex Browser itself;
through the Yandex portal.

Updating by means of the Yandex Browser itself

This browser is aimed at making life as easy as possible for its users, so you can even update it straight from the program:

Enter the Yandex Browser menu, select the Advanced section, and then - About the browser. The Yandex Browser application will automatically inform you about the availability of the latest update, if any.
Information about the current version of Yandex Browser will be displayed
A new window will display the number of the current version of Yandex Browser and the line “Checking for updates” will appear. If a new version of the program has been released, a notification about the availability of the latest version will appear with a link (or button) to start the update.
Wait until the end of the search for an updated version of the browser
If updates are found, Yandex Browser will download and launch the latest version of the YandexBrowser installation package. Updates will take effect after restarting the browser.
After the update is complete, close the tab with information about the successful installation
After installing the update, a notification line will appear in the "About" tab: "You are using the latest version of Yandex Browser."

If your computer is running Windows 2000 or XP, then the next time you search for updates, a message may appear stating that Current version Windows is no longer supported.

Termination Windows support 2000, XP and Vista by some developers means that obsolete Windows versions in many ways lag behind newer ones. This is a reason to think about whether to update the version of Windows itself.

If you wish, you can turn off the automatic updating of Yandex Browser.

Updating Yandex.Browser from the Yandex portal

The Yandex portal offers to replace the existing version of Yandex Browser with a new one by installing it “over” the existing one.

To accomplish this, do the following:

Go to the section of the site "Yandex" - browser.yandex.ru.
Download the browser from browser.yandex.ru
Click the "Computer" tab and then the "Download" button. Confirm to save the installation file. The new version of Yandex Browser will be downloaded to your PC.
To download, click the save file button
Run the downloaded file YandexBrowser.exe and select the installation options.
Check the options you want and click the get started button

Problems updating Yandex.Browser

Problems that may arise when updating Yandex.Browser fall into two categories:

no website opens;
it is impossible to update the version of the application.

Problems associated with the inability to open sites

If the browser does not open sites, then you need to check the functionality of the Internet connection and the correct operation of some programs that affect the connection speed. To do this, do the following:

Make sure that the cable is connected to the LAN port of the PC or laptop, the ADSL or ONT modem is turned on, and the provider's cable is connected to WAN port in the router. Everything required cables network devices are connected to the router from the back, and in front there is a display panel for operating modes.
Make sure all cables are connected to the correct connectors on the router
Make sure that the power of the router is turned on (the power adapter is connected, its plug is inserted into the Power connector) and the device is operating normally (the “Power”, “Settings”, Wi-Fi or LAN and “Internet access” indicators are on).
Power, Wi-Fi or LAN cable and Internet access indicators should be on
If you are using a 4G modem, check if its connector is inserted into the USB port of the router and if you are within the range of reliable coverage of your cellular operator.
4G modems are connected to the USB port
When using a wireless pocket router 4G / Wi-Fi check if there is a 4G network. Each manufacturer has a different nature of the glow of the "cellular" indicator on the device: for example, continuous glow in Huawei products and rare blinking in ZTE models.
The ZTE MF90 + router informs about the connection to the 4G network with a blue glow of the right indicator
Make sure your internet plan is paid and valid. This is true for both cable and 4G connections.
Check the IP connection settings. Obtaining an IP address on a PC should occur automatically at the beginning of each communication session. To do this, in Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, go to the command "Start - Control Panel - Network Control Center and general access- Change adapter settings ", right-click on your connection (Wi-Fi or cable connection) and open" Properties - Network ". Highlight your IPv4 connection and open Properties. Enable Auto Obtain IP / DNS Addresses, close all windows by clicking OK, and restart Windows.
If there are no static IPs, enable automatic receiving of addresses
Temporarily disable the proxy server setting in Yandex Browser. Go to "Menu - Settings - Show advanced settings", and then click the "Change proxy server settings" button. Remove the IP address of the broken proxy by enabling the "Do not use proxy server" option.

Problems related to the inability to start and complete the update

If the Internet connection is working properly, but the browser cannot be updated, then the cause of this may be viral activity on the PC or laptop. Viruses can prevent any program from being updated at all. They, in particular, are able to clone Winwows processes many times, occupying the entire volume random access memory computer and "filling up" the speed of the processor. Checking the status of processes is easy by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del, opening Task Manager and going to the Processes tab. To protect against viruses, use antivirus software reputable developers such as Panda, Avast, software package Kaspersky or NOD32.

One of the SVCHost processes clearly takes more memory than it really needs

How to roll back a Yandex Browser update

Return old version Yandex Browser is a problem that can be solved in different ways. In particular, the following alternatives are possible:

rollback through the menu general settings browser:
rollback through the standard Windows System Restore feature.

Rollback through the general browser settings menu

In the browser menu, go to the "Settings" section and in the appearance settings, click the "Turn off new interface».

The "Disable new interface" button will remove the functions that have changed during latest update browser

There are also display options for more detailed settings, such as the work of the "Smart Line", visual representation for the opened pages, etc. Check and remove those that you do not use.

Rollback through Windows System Restore

Restoring or "Rollback" Windows 10 - a tool that affects the main system folders: Windows, Program Files(folder for third-party programs and shared Windows components), Registry ( hidden folder Registry), Recycled (hidden Recycle Bin), and Users (all user folders except the Documents folder and some hidden cache subfolders). The contents of all these folders are constantly monitored by a regular background service. copy windows... Therefore, System Restore will completely restore Yandex Browser to the version it was at when the last restore point was created.

Follow these steps:

Click on "Start" and on "Control Panel".
Select Windows Control Panel
Go to "System and Security".
Go to Windows Security Settings
Open the Windows 10 system subkey.

Good day, everyone, today we will talk with you about how to update Yandex Browser to the latest version for free. The essence of using the latest versions is that you may not even suspect what problems outdated versions of browsers may have in themselves. For example, at work, I often encounter the fact that the user does not open a video in social networks, and the solution to this problem is a banal update of the browser to the latest version ... in general, with the usual software, it may not be so critical, but you just have to keep browsers (including Yandex Browser) and antivirus software up to date.

For many, an update is associated with a change or refinement of the visual part (interface) of the program, however, hidden changes and capabilities are more important. Higher website rendering speed compared to previous version, more correct display of pages and other chips come to us only with updates - I'm not talking about security updates, and Yandex Browser places great emphasis on this advantage over other web browsers.

Let's move on to the most interesting thing, namely, the free update of Yandex Browser to the latest version. This question may seem stupid to many and they will laugh - they say what is so difficult there? As practice has shown, it is not always possible to update a given browser in a couple of clicks ... in some situations you will have to be smart, which is why this note will contain as many as 3 update methods:

How to easily update Yandex Browser to the latest version from the program menu
Updating the Browser roll-up new version over the old
Removing the old version of Yandex Browser and installing a new one

As you can see for all occasions, now we will consider each item in as much detail as possible so that questions never arise again.

System requirements

Many people think that browsers have no system requirements and will run on any, even old hardware. Unfortunately, this statement is fundamentally wrong. Surfing the Internet at the moment uses a lot of resources (especially with regard to resources overloaded with graphics and interface).

There is a possibility that your computer has ceased to meet the minimum system requirements and, as a result, it is impossible to install the update. A striking example - Google Chrome stopped working on Windows XP and you can update to the latest version only by reinstalling operating system to a more recent one.

System requirements Yandex. Browser is an OS not lower than Windows XP Service Pack 3 and 512 megabytes of RAM. The rest is negligible

Updating Yandex Browser from the program menu

Open Yandex Browser, click on the image of three lines (sort of a menu), look for the item "Advanced" and click on "About the browser". By the way, with updates appearance the interface can change, but in general, I think the idea is clear.

Yandex Browser will cling to its servers and tell you which version you are using, if it turns out that you are using an old version, then there will be a proposal to update to the latest - in my case I already use the latest (with such an update, by the way, the data is not lost)

You just have to wait until the updates are downloaded and installed on the browser, and, of course, restart it to accept the changes.

Try to always use this way, but unfortunately it is not always relevant. It happens that a user has installed Yandex Browser from an unknown source, and updates are disabled there by default (and who knows what else was crammed there), so if you install the browser from the official repository once, this method will always work without any problems

Updating Yandex Browser over the old version

If the standard update utility did not help, then go to battle alternative ways- download the latest version of Yandex Browser from the official website and roll it over the old one, all data in this case is saved as in the previous version. Go to the download page and download the latest version (always try to use only official sites to download programs)

Please note that there are versions not only for computers and laptops, but also for smartphones and tablets. (I personally liked the Android version - I use it myself)

After successfully downloading the web installer, launch it. You can agree or not to take part in improving Yandex services - please note that this is not license agreement... We click on "Start using" and wait for the end of the free update of the Yandex browser.

During the installation of the new version, the "User Account Control Windows entries", But we downloaded from the official source, so we agree with all changes.

If you cannot update Yandex Browser to the latest version

Well, we got to the saddest scenario, when Yandex Browser does not want to update under any pretext. In this situation (and these are quite rare), we have no choice but to completely remove this application from the computer and reinstall it.

To uninstall, go to the "Control Panel" of the computer, go to "Add or Remove Programs" and look for "Yandex" there - this is our Yandex Browser, then click "Remove".

A window will appear with a choice of action - remove the browser or reinstall it. Reinstalling in our case may help with fixing the update error, but we are currently using last resort and agree to the removal.

There are two options for uninstalling - delete everything permanently, along with user data and just uninstall the program itself ... since we are experiencing problems with updates, we will have to say goodbye to our browsing history and other data in order to completely uninstall Yandex Browser and reinstall it.

Further, everything is as in the second paragraph. After removing the browser, download the latest version from the official website and install it on your computer (along the way, agreeing with the questions asked by User Account Control, if necessary and required by your system settings)

Conclusions and thoughts aloud

Friends, we've covered you three different ways update Yandex Browser to the latest version for free - this is quite enough to deal with the problem of updates (which happens often enough)... I did not mention other options for the inability to update - these are problems with your Internet connection (by the way, read the note as on Yandex). In some cases, it's enough just to try to update a little later, but in general, the recommendations from the note will be enough for you.

P.S. Almost all modern browsers are updated automatically, what happens to them and why they do not want to update in the future, I personally do not understand (although if you downloaded it from an unknown site, then this is a common situation). And it also happens that software your computer is outdated and no longer supported, as in the case of Windows XP and Google Chrome. I hope you will not have any questions about updating Yandex browser to the latest version, but just in case I will tell you one secret - I can ask a question with a problem in the comments ...

The browser from the domestic company Yandex is in no way inferior to its counterparts, and in some ways even surpasses them. Starting with a clone of Google Chrome, the developers have turned Yandex Browser into a standalone browser with an interesting set of features that is increasingly attracting users.

The creators continue to actively work on their product, and release regular updates that make the browser more stable, safer and more functional. Usually, when an update is available, the user receives a notification, but if automatic updating is disabled (by the way, it cannot be disabled in recent versions) or there are other reasons why the browser is not updating, then you can always do it manually. Next, we will tell you how to update the Yandex browser on your computer and use its latest version.

All users of this browser on the Internet have the ability to update the Yandex browser for Windows 7 and higher. It's easy to do, and here's how:

Additionally» > « About the browser»;

2. in the opened window under the logo it will be written “ Manual update available". Click on the button " Refresh».

It remains to wait until the files are downloaded and updated, and then restart the browser and use the new version of the program. Usually, after the update, a new tab opens with the notification "Yandex.Browser has been updated."

"Silent" installation of a new version of Yandex Browser

As you can see, updating the Yandex browser is very simple and will not take you much time. And if you want the browser to update even when it is not running, then here's how you can do it:

1. press the menu button and select " Settings»;
2. in the list of settings, go down, click on " Show advanced settings»;
3. we are looking for the parameter “ Refresh the browser even if it is not running”And put a checkbox in front of it.

Now using Yandex Browser has become even more convenient!

Yandex Browser was introduced to the world in 2012, and as of 2017, it is used by about 10 percent of people in Russian-speaking countries. This browser is often installed as an additional option when downloading other programs, and some decide to start using it. Like any software, it becomes obsolete over time, so it is important to know how to update Yandex browser.

Many people perceive this browser as something like the ill-fated Amigo - they are imposed everywhere and everywhere, and at the same time they do not carry any benefit. Now one of the most popular browsers is Google Chrome, and it seems dubious to switch from it to something outwardly almost indistinguishable.

Benefits of Yandex Browser

The naked eye can see how much Yandex Browser and Google Chrome are similar, but this is only from the point of view of appearance. As for the performance and other features of this program, here you need to analyze in more detail.

One of the main advantages is considered to be high-quality integration with a variety of utilities. First of all, the browser works well with other Yandex services:

Search engine,
Yandex.Disk and storage,
Maps,
Translator,
By mail,
Weather forecast,
A card with plugs.

Many additional plugins work well with this browser too. For example, technologies are integrated into it Adobe flash... The program also has a synchronization function with other devices - the browsing history can be transferred, as an option, from a computer to a laptop. Linking to the phone will enable you to use the quick call function - the system will analyze the number on the page and, if desired, send it to your smartphone.

It is believed that the developers of Yandex Browser have achieved a high degree of security at the expense of Kaspersky technologies. Here, pages (however, as in almost any browser) are checked for the presence of malicious codes, and there is also an antispam and an analyzer for data thieves.

One of the main disadvantages of Google Chrome is its extremely high consumption of RAM. This browser, on the contrary, uses it much less, however, like many other analogues.

Some believe that one of the advantages of the browser is the absence of automatic playback if, for example, a person has opened a YouTube tab, but is still on another page. Also celebrated acceptable high speed work and the ability to function on weak computers.

Disadvantages of Yandex Browser

Many put dignity this browser Turbo mode, however, it is not unique. It is also used in other programs, however, wherever it is, it is unlikely that it will be possible to see striking differences in speed.

One of the most noticeable drawbacks of Yandex Browser is its excessive intrusiveness. It is imposed in various third-party programs, and, once installed, imposes other Yandex services. At the same time, it also has built-in advertising.

Not everyone likes the look and feel of the pages, including the bright yellow border of the search bar. At the same time, the general view strongly resembles Google Chrome (even slightly different). There are also problems in terms of functionality. For example, the page translator does not work correctly, and deleting the browser may reset the connection settings.

How to update Yandex browser?

Obviously, the advantages of this browser outweigh its potential disadvantages somewhat, so it was able to spread among Russian-speaking Internet users. Since the release, various new versions have appeared, in particular, improving the speed of work.

You can update Yandex Browser using several methods, most of which are fairly simple. For example, everything can happen in almost completely automatic mode.

First you need to check if there are newer versions of the program. To do this, you need to open a browser.
At the top right there is a button, after clicking on it a menu will appear, at the bottom of which you need to select the "About Yandex browser" item.

Now a new tab will open, on the left side of which there are several graphs. "Help" is selected from them.
After opening, the program itself will check if there are new versions of it.

If necessary updates are found, their installation will start automatically. The process can be monitored by the icon under the line "Version ...".
When everything is ready, a green checkmark will appear and a request to restart the browser.

It remains only to follow the instructions and press the restart button. As a result, the same page will open again, and it will be seen that the latest version of Yandex Browser is installed.

How to manually update Yandex Browser?

Updating in automatic mode is easy and simple, but you cannot exclude the possibility of any problems. Sometimes you have to carry out the upgrade manually. It is a little longer, but in general, it is also simple.

How to update Yandex browser manually:

A browser opens.
Using the top icon, a menu is called up, in which you need to find the line "About the Yandex browser".

A tab will appear on which you will need to find the phrase "Update available in manual mode".

Below it is the Update button. You need to click on it.

When the process is complete, you will need to restart your browser and check if the update was installed correctly. Although in this case you have to start the process yourself, a lot is still done automatically. There is another update option, which, in fact, consists in a complete reinstallation of Yandex Browser.

First you need to clear your history and other files.
Selecting the "History" item in the drop-down menu, you need to open the appropriate tab.

At the top there will be a button "Clear history".

In addition to tabs, passwords and other data can be noted here.

Now you need to right-click on the browser icon and select the "File location" line. It is worth doing this in order to know where to uninstall the browser from.

Now you can uninstall Yandex Browser through Control Panel-Uninstall Programs.

After that, it remains to download the latest version from the official website. Before installation, you can additionally clean your computer using a convenient free software Ccleaner, which will remove a variety of temporary files.

Other update methods

There is another option for updating Yandex Browser - you can use a special update manager. If you configure it, then the modernization process will occur completely independently of the user's actions. The browser will be able to update as soon as new files are released.

You need to open a browser.
The pop-up menu contains the "Settings" item.
Around the middle of the opened tab is the "System" section.
One of the last lines will be "Refresh browser, even if not running."

After that, the system will monitor possible software updates and install them itself. Thus, you can always be sure that your computer is running the latest version of the browser. Of course, at times you can use the previous methods to make sure the upgrade is successful.
