ayi_2 <p>Good news! It has been somewhat “fixed.”</p> <p>I was interested in <a href="https://superuser.com/a/1264617/650163"><em>clickbangdead</em>’s solution</a>, but unfortunately I could <em>not</em> make it work no matter what I tried. Then I went back to the <a href="https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_perf-insiderplat_pc/programs-autostart-after-boot-in-windows-10-fall/09dd8d3e-7b36-45d1-9181-6587dd5d53ab?messageId=552051d1-b7e5-4709-826a-cce7d243086a">Microsoft Answers thread</a> where he originally posted his solution, because maybe someone could have found a new solution in the subsequent pages. And voilà, indeed. Navigate to the following location:</p> <p><strong>Settings</strong> > <strong>Accounts</strong> > <strong>Sign-In Options</strong></p> <p>Scroll down to <strong>Privacy</strong> on the right and then set the following to <strong>Off</strong>:</p> <p>Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart.</p> <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/GHjOq.jpg"></a></p> <p>I was skeptical, because that doesn’t seem like it has much to do with reopening my Google Chrome upon restart, but I tested and it <em>(finally)</em> works!</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>: with the release of Windows 10 version 1803 (the April 2018 Update), Microsoft modified the wording within that Privacy option to emphasize that it will <em>“reopen my apps”</em> if it is configured to be <strong>On</strong>.</p> <p>Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device and reopen my apps after an update or restart.</p> <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/rVgzn.jpg"></a></p>
