Strange Chrome behaviour?

Hi guys,

I've not used my desktop for a while so this might just be an updated 'feature' of the latest Chrome build but it feels weird to me... basically Chrome appears to have started running from startup - I think it always has (system tray), but now it launches - full screen. It also retains my recently visited pages, even after a restart.

I guess the easiest option would be to disable from startup but I was just wondering if there were any options in the app itself?

Thanks.

Thanks! I'm just having a play with a few of the options now.

Check services, Google update services in there?

It is, shouldn't be? I can disable from Ccleaner.

Interesting that this might be a feature of a recent Windows update, if it is, I hate it. As others have said, I'd rather start a fresh session each time. Odd thing is though, it's not consistent. I don't think it's doing it every time...

It's also quite annoying, for me anyway, that the pages don't refresh on startup...

The auto starting of apps is caused by Windows. Settings > Account > Sign In Options > Scroll to bottom and disable it.

Sorry, where is this?
