Chrome keeps reverting from 'arm64' to 'x86_64 translated' on M1 MacBook Pro

[seaquestamd]

Im having a weird issue with Google Chrome on a new M1 MacBook Pro, what is happening is I have downloaded and installed the ARM version of Chrome from Google website and it installs as 'arm64', after some time for some reason Chrome reverts to 'x86_64 translated' and I can tell because the program feels slower and pages don't load as quickly.

Tried deleting Chrome from Applications and deleting the Chrome profile in ~/Library and /Library and it still keeps reverting after a few launches after reinstalling.

Has anyone seen this issue happening?

UPDATE: Ok, figured it out, turns out that Datto RMM kept pushing out the x86 version of Chrome instead of the arm64 version, remove Google Chrome from the policy and its stuck with arm64 since.

If you right click on the application, is 'Open Using Rosetta' ticked?

Have you checked in activity monitor, that kind is really Intel and not Apple?

(Kind is not shown by default, but can be enabled by right clicking on the column headers on the CPU page)

Yeah, Kind keeps coming up as 'Intel' in the Activity Monitor.

That’s what happens when you don’t use the App Store.

This is happening to me too. Can you explain how I "remove Google Chrome from the policy"? I assume you mean Datta RMM policy but I'm not sure what that is...
