Windows 10: Problem: Chrome windows in Taskbar Change Places after Sleep

Hello everyone,

Here's the deal: I'd usually have around 50-70 Chrome tabs opened at the same time, divided in 5-6 different Chrome windows down in the taskbar, each windows having between 5 and 30 Chrome tabs in it. I was using Windows 7 until recently in the same manner and everything was running as intended, but after I've switched to a new computer I've decided to upgrade to Windows 10 as well. I have this annoying problem with Chrome taskbar window 1 goes from the leftern most position to the rightern most position on Sleep. Then if the computer goes to sleep a 2nd time, Chrome Taskbar window 2, which has moved to the leftern most position would too go in the rightern most position. And so on, and so on. I use the computer for work and I have all tabs positioned strategically for me to know what's where at any given time, you could say that I click without thinking nowadays. So this issue is doubly frustrating, because it costs me so much time and frustration to deal with while working.

Please help. I feel... desperate.

I've tried locking/unlocking the taskbard, the windows down are grouped, but as a cluster one after the other, not on each other.

I can't move the offending Chrome taskbars windows to the left one by one manually, or at least I don't know how, since every time I try to do that, all Chrome tasbars windows move together, not separately.

That's it. Google have me nothing, so I have that Reddit would be able to blaze a trail with this messy problem.

chrome + taskbar autohide problem

So i set my taskbar autohide. whenever chrome is in fullscreen, when i hover around the corner, the taskbar wont appear. It works with other browsers....

 

Two Google Chrome problems that made the taskbar to act up


From the two questions in this thread, it ends up as a one single topic because I figured out that they are both related.
there are two problems regarding to this software.
I want a fix to make these problems to not appear again.

1.My first problem is that when I click on the program other than Chrome, the other application never seem to switch or restore when the program is already opened.



I'll just put in a scenario. Google Chrome may work fine normally, until the time when I want to switch other programs when needed. Changing other programs in the taskbar doesn't respond at all. Clicking the icon twice, right click the icon then restore the window, or even using alt+tab doesn't switch.

Switching back to desktop seems to work, even changing other Google Chrome tabs by drag and make a different window. The exception is this window here.

2.My second problem is the taskbar showing up when I watch videos on fullscreen



Normally, it doesn't appear at all, but you know the what the problem is all about so I won't explain it in detail.



When will it appear?
These problems will only appear occasionaly. But I do know is that there is a higher chance to happen if I turn my laptop to sleep mode and turn back on. I use a laptop.

What can you really do if you want to give a solution to my problem?

• You can ask me to download a different version of Google Chrome, but make sure that the version you give me is stable (I used Version 53.0.2785.89 m (64-bit)).
• Adjust windows settings
• Give a program for me to download if it's necessary
• Well, you can give me anything to tweak Google Chrome to adjust its settings.

What things that I don't want

• Methods that only gives a "temporary" fix. That isn't what I ask for, even so I can do it on my own right now, but this makes this topic pointless.
• To update Google Chrome software (I already did that)
• To update Windows 10 (I already have the latest version)
• Adjust the registry in the registry editor
• Download "driver fix" crap

 

how do I change google chrome icon?

I want to change the icon on the taskbar, I know how to change it in the properties but can't figure out how to add more icon options. For example if I made my own icon and wanted to use it in place of the chrome icon how would I do this?
