Google Chrome An error occurred while checking for updates: Update check failed to start (error code 3: 0X80070002 -- system level).

Periodically, a few times a month, I get this error when checking for Google Chrome browser update. The only way to fix it is to download and run the Google Chrome installer.
Has anybody else experienced this, and what could be causing it?

Have you tried the troubleshooting steps with regards to Google Update Services?

I would use export my Chrome bookmarks (unless you are syncing to your Google account in which case they should come back) Make note of your installed extensions.
End ALL running Chrome tasks in task manager.
I would then use Revo Uninstaller Free to uninstall Chrome. Make sure to use Revo's SCAN feature to find & delete all remaining remnants.
Restart and reinstall Chrome.
