Windows 10: Why is Chrome suddenly not opening in the same position where I closed it?

Hi all. This issue just started happening today for no apparent reason. I have always had Chrome fully expanded in the vertical direction on the screen, meaning I drag the top border to the top of the screen and let Windows automatically expand it up and down.

Whenever I close and reopen Chrome, it remains in this position. Except for today. Now when I reopen it, it starts with a little space between the Chrome window and the task bar at the bottom.

Is there any reason this would have...

can't close googel chrome ???

There is a setting in Google Chrome that allows it to continue running various tasks in the background after you have closed the browser window. If this is allowed in your Google Chrome settings, then it can indeed be running even when there is no visible
window. Personally, I don't allow Google Chrome to continue running in the background/ But that is for you to decide. To solve your immediate problem though, I suggest you turn off (don't allow) this option at least temporarily:

1. Start Google Chrome. There should of course be a visible browser window.
2. Access the Google Chrome menu by clicking on the three dots at the top right corner of the browser window (it's just below the standard Microsoft icons to minimize maximize and close the window).
3. Select "Settings" from that menu. Some basic Google Chrome settings should be displayed in the browser.
4. Go to the bottom of the "Basic Settings" page and click on "Advanced".
5. Locate the "System" group within the "Advanced Settings". Its near the bottom of this second settings page.
6. One of the "System" settings is "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed".
   
   Turn this option OFF by sliding its little button to the left.
7. Close the Google Chrome browser.

There should now be no complaints about Google Chrome still running when you think it isn't.

If you would like to re-enable this feature later, just follow the same 7 Step procedure above.

Of course to re-enable the feature, replace "Turn this option OFF" in Step 6 with "Turn this option
ON".

I hope this helps.

 

Save Window Position

Hi Shane,

Saving the window size/position when opening a message to a new window is easy. Simply follow the steps below on how to do so:

• Open a message in a new window.
• Press and hold the Ctrl button on your keyboard and click on the
  X button at upper right corner of the window to close it.
• When you open a message in another window, the size/position of the window should be saved.
