    I Can't Open Chrome When Right Clicking The Icon On The Taskbar-New Window or Incognito


    Hi there,

    I cant open up a new window or an incognito one when I right click on the Google Chrome icon on my taskbar. It shows the tasks new window and new incognito but the icons are greyed out and when i select either of them I get this message:

    "The item you selected is unavailable. It might have been moved, renamed, or removed. Do you want to remove it from the list?"


    Then there is a cancel option only, I cant remove it from the right clicking of the chrome app if I wanted to. Please help!!!


    I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling

    Clearing appdata

    Restore health/cleanup

    sfc/scannow


    I dont use system restore so thats not an option
    I dont keep a list of recently stored items etc etc


    Also I have seen some options talking about this custom destination folder, I have no such thing.


    Any help would be great.

    Windows 10 Chrome in All Apps and on Taskbar not showing incognito task

    RMB = Right Mouse Button aka (also known as) right-click

    I know I can open an incognito window after I start Chrome. I do it by selecting the 3 bar menu and selecting 'new incognito window' rather than Ctrl-Shift-N. *But* I do not want an 'ordinary' Google Chrome session as well as an incognito session. I just
    want an incognito session.

    What I want to do on my Win 10 Home 32 bit machines is the same as I can do on my Win 10 Pro 64 bit machines. That is, when hovering over Google Chrome in All Programs list, or hovering over the Google Chrome icon in the taskbar, click right mouse button
    and select 'new incognito window' from the displayed tasks. In Win 10 Home 32 bit the task to open a new incognito window is missing.

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?
