Research direction
Search the winget-pkgs manifests for Google.Chrome and inspect the installer entry for the reported Google URL. Verify the manifest hash against the downloaded SHA256, then validate the manifest and confirm that winget install -e --id Google.Chrome completes successfully.

Category of the issue
Installer hash mismatch.
Brief description of your issue
WinGet downloaded the Chrome installer successfully, but the installer's hash did not match the hash defined in the package manifest. As a result, WinGet blocked the installation for security reasons. This cannot be bypassed simply by running the command as Administrator.
Downloaded installer SHA256:
F3B164BA3D3AB9A76B6E93ABAE3DD89E042FE36655CB58C45504992925A87FE4
Installer URL:
https://dl.google.com/dl/chrome/install/googlechromestandaloneenterprise64.msi
this is the correct has = SHA256 F3B164BA3D3AB9A76B6E93ABAE3DD89E042FE36655CB58C45504992925A87FE4
Steps to reproduce
C:\Windows\System32>winget install -e --id Google.Chrome
Encontrado Google Chrome [Google.Chrome] Versión 151.0.7922.174

██████████████████████████████ 158 MB / 158 MB
El hash del instalador no coincide; esto no se puede sobreescribir al ejecutarse como administrador
Actual behavior
WinGet downloads the installer successfully (158 MB), but the installation fails with:
"Installer hash does not match; this package cannot be overridden when running as administrator."
The installer appears to have been updated on Google's side, causing a mismatch between the downloaded file hash and the hash stored in the WinGet manifest.
Expected behavior
WinGet should successfully install Google Chrome using the package manifest published in the winget-pkgs repository. The installer hash in the manifest should match the SHA256 hash of the installer currently being downloaded from Google's official URL.
