Why sometimes the kebab menu missing in Google Chrome?

Sometimes we observe that the kebab menu needs to be included. The three dots menu goes missing when the updates are present in Chrome, and then the kebab menu is restored by the update arrow, which gives the information to update Chrome. The update arrow is displayed in green, yellow, or red.
