You can use 2 ways: destructive and creative.

Let's consider both options, adhering to the following plan:

Let's start in order.

Destructive option to update Yandex.Browser

This option can be described with words from a famous hymn:

"The whole world of violence we will destroy
To the bottom and then
We are ours, we will build a new world.”

This Yandex.Browser update option involves 2 steps:

first remove the old version of the browser from the computer (via Start - Remove Programs),
and then install the new version from the official site for free.

The official website always offers the latest version of the browser, so there is no doubt that the latest version will be installed on your computer.

It happens that the updates were installed incorrectly, or for some other reason, the Yandex browser works strangely, not as usual. That's when the destructive update option comes in: remove the browser from your computer, and then reinstall it from the official site.

How to remove the old version of Yandex browser

In Windows 7, in order to remove the Yandex browser, you need to follow the route: Start - Control Panel - Programs and Features - Uninstall or change a program (Fig. 1).

Then, in the list of programs installed on the computer, you should find the Yandex browser and select it with the left mouse button, as shown by the number 1 in Fig. 1.

Now you can apply the delete command to the selected program, that is, to the Yandex browser. To do this, click on the "Delete" button (number 2 in Fig. 1).

Rice. 1 Removing the old version of Yandex browser

The “Delete Yandex browser?” window will appear, in which there will be a question “Delete all browser settings?”.

Rice. 2 We solve the issue of saving browser settings, and then delete the browser

If you do not need the settings, then you need to check the box next to this question. On fig. There are no 2 checkmarks, because I want to save the settings so as not to do them again after installing the browser.

Having resolved the issue of saving or deleting browser settings, click on the "Delete" button (number 2 in Fig. 2). After a few seconds, the message "Yandex.Browser has been deleted" will appear.

Where can I find the latest version of Yandex browser?

After removing the old version of the browser, you can proceed to install the latest version from the official site:

Rice. 3 Download Yandex browser from the official site

Before downloading, we check the choice of the device for which you want to install the Yandex browser. On fig. 3, the number 1 shows that the version of the browser for the computer is selected. There are versions for smartphones and tablets. Click on the "Download" button. Since the download comes from the official site, there can be no viruses there.

After downloading, you need to install a browser. To do this, you need to find the installation file on your computer. It is usually downloaded to the Downloads folder. To find this folder on your computer, type in the Start menu, in the search bar the word: Downloads, or Downloads. And then in the Search results, where the heading is "Files", click on the found folder "Downloads".

In this folder, look for the Yandex file (yandex.exe), click on it. A security warning window will appear, in which we click on the "Run" button. And here: “Wait, locomotive, don’t knock, wheels” in the sense that you should stop and think about the checkmarks.

If you want to use Yandex as the default browser, then the checkbox should be in front of the "Make default browser" option (number 1 in Fig. 4). In this case, Yandex browser will always load and open first on the computer, and not any other browser.

But the second checkbox opposite the option “Take part in improving Yandex services: automatically send anonymous browser usage statistics” (number 2 in Fig. 4) is better to remove.

Rice. 4 Important checkboxes before you start using Yandex browser

Having dealt with the checkboxes (1 and 2 in Fig. 4), click "Start using" (number 3 in Fig. 4). The Internet connection will be checked and the installation will be completed in a few minutes. After installation, the Yandex browser icon can be found on the desktop of your computer.

However, there are many reasons why a disruptive browser refresh option won't work. For example, with this approach, there is no absolute guarantee that “everything acquired by overwork” and saved in the old Yandex browser will be just as familiar and understandable in the new version installed from the official site.

Therefore, in most cases, the creative browser refresh option is preferable.

Creative version of updating Yandex.Browser

This option involves gradual browser updates as they appear on the official website. You can update in two modes:

automatic,
manual.

By automatically updating the Yandex browser, I mean a voluntary-compulsory "reminder" that may appear when you enter the browser in the form of a banner or link with an offer to update. I will not consider it, because everything is clear with it.

Let's move on to manually updating the browser. First you need to understand whether you need to do an update.

according to the Yandex browser settings (number 1 in Fig. 5, click on Fig. 5 to enlarge it),
in the menu that appears - by the option "... Advanced" (number 2 in Fig. 5),
then - on the option "About the Yandex browser" (number 3 in Fig. 5).

Rice. 5 How to find out the version of Yandex browser and whether it is necessary to update

In the "About" window, you can see the Yandex browser version: 15.2.2214.3645, as well as find out information about the need for an update. If there is an "Update" button (number 1 in Fig. 6), click on it to install the latest version of the browser.

Rice. 6 Offer "Update" Yandex browser, from which ... it is impossible to refuse

After that, a message will appear: "Yandex is being updated." At the end of this process, you can click on the "Restart" browser button (number 1 in Fig. 7).

Rice. 7 The update is completed, it remains to restart the browser

After the restart, we will see a joyful message stating that Yandex.Browser has been updated.

Rice. 8 Yandex browser has been updated, this is the latest version

Yandex.Browser is stable, but sometimes it may need to be restarted due to various events. For example, after making important changes, plugin crashes, freezing due to lack of resources, etc. If you periodically encounter the need to restart the browser, it is advisable to know different methods of restarting, since in certain situations they can be more useful than the standard method.

Restarting the web browser can be useful to the user in different situations:

Completion of the correct installation of the update;
Apply settings that require restarting the program;
The browser freezes and does not respond to user actions;
Incorrect work of Yandex.Browser;
Yandex.Browser heavily loads the system.

Depending on the reason that caused the need to restart, the method for performing this action may be different.

Yandex.Browser, like any other program running on a computer, obeys the general rules for managing a window. Therefore, you can safely close the browser by clicking on the cross in its upper right corner. After that, it remains to restart the browser through the shortcut.

Method 2: Key combination

Some users operate the keyboard faster than the mouse (especially if it is a touchpad on a laptop), so in this case it is much more convenient to close the browser by pressing the keys at the same time Alt+F4. After that, you can restart the web browser with the usual steps.

Method 3: Task Manager

This method is usually used if the browser freezes and does not want to be closed by the methods listed above. Call the task manager by pressing the keys at the same time Ctrl + Shift + Esc and on the tab "Processes" find the process "Yandex (32 bits)". Right click on it and select "Remove task".

In this case, Yandex will forcibly close its work, and after a few seconds you will be able to reopen it as usual.

Method 4: Browser command

This option helps not only to close the browser to open it manually, but to restart it. To do this, in any tab, open the address bar and enter there browser://restart, and then click Enter. The web browser will restart itself.

If you are reluctant to manually write this command each time, then you can create, for example, a bookmark, by clicking on which the browser will restart. To do this, expand the submenu through the menu "Bookmarks" and go to Bookmark Manager or just press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+O.

Right-click on an empty space in the main part of the page and select "Add Bookmark".

Write an arbitrary name and paste the command mentioned above in the appropriate field.
