Stable version (5.2.1168.74)

No, I changed "Program Files" to "AppData\Local\Temp" in the previous version.

It's clear, I've never launched the browser as an administrator, so I didn't see it, my browser uses the folder "C:\Temp". Now I tried to launch version 5.1.1130.129 as an administrator and added the extension uBlock Origin version 1.62 then clicked update, it updated and nothing appeared anywhere, neither in "C:\Temp" nor in "AppData\Local\Temp" (although I have it) nor in program files. But I dragged another extension in the form of crx and did not install it (pressed cancel) and then in the folder "C:\Temp" scoped_dir2580_595617426 https://s1.directupload.eu/images/250730/bcw9qbp5.png was saved (I repeated the same thing again with uBlock Origin and the second folder also appeared)
Not all processes with elevated rights are launched when you launch the browser as an admin https://s1.directupload.eu/images/250730/3qr2il2g.png

I tried to do the same in 5.2.1168.57 and there the folders are normally created in "C:\Temp" both when you launch the browser as an admin and when not. These scoped_dir* folders should also appear in the program files, right? They did not appear in the program files for me no matter how hard I tried, I thought maybe something would appear from the component update, but it did not.

what exactly do you need to do to get folders in program files?

Chrome now, if it sees that it is running as an administrator, tries to restart itself with the rights of a regular user
