To begin, I would like to apologize in advance if this isn't the right place for this question. I'm kinda running out luck trying to find an answer for this.

Now then, I'm using an old version of Chrome, for a few different reasons.

>44.0.2403.157_chrome64_installer

This the name of the version's installer.

Anyway, for whatever reason and for sometime now, widevine doesn't seem to work, and so I cannot go onto places like Netflix on my Chrome, even though I do pretty much everthing else on it. This causes me to need to use IE or Firefox when I wish to use Netflix.

Going to Chrome://Components and looking at widevine gives me this.

>WidevineCdm - Version: 0.0.0.0

Updating doesn't fix this, and besides, I had to gut googleupdates to prevent it from autoupdating everytime I restart Chrome (and it still sneaks back on from time to time, anyway).

Is there a way to fix the widevine component so I can watch Neflix and similar without loading a different browser?

Thanks a million in advance for your time and any help with this!
