Create file DisableChromeOSupgradeNotification.reg with content:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Chromium]
"SuppressUnsupportedOSWarning"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome]
"SuppressUnsupportedOSWarning"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\BraveSoftware\Brave]
"SuppressUnsupportedOSWarning"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"SuppressUnsupportedOSWarning"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Vivaldi]
"SuppressUnsupportedOSWarning"=dword:00000001

and import it to the registry.

This permamently disable the annoying out of support info bar for Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Edge and Vivaldi.

This key disables update so you don't want that one.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Google\Update]

So you can remove it. But I doubt that Google Updater is still functional regardless of this setting.
