Chrome Keeps Opening Old Tabs

Chrome Keeps Opening Old Tabs Rating: 3,0/5 5364 votes

Sep 17, 2014  My Google Chrome Browser keeps opening by itself - posted in Am I infected? What do I do?: I have a Windows 8.1 OS and for some odd reason my Google Chrome browser keeps opening windows and tabs.

  1. How To Stop Chrome From Opening On Startup Windows 10
  2. Start Chrome Without Restoring Tabs

Using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T, Chrome will open the last tab that was closed on a Windows system. Likewise, command+Shift+T reopens to last tab on a Mac system. If you use the keyboard shortcut again, and it will open the tab that was closed before. Feb 15, 2016 - How can I re-launch Chrome without opening up the tabs that were previously. Any settings, because the suspicious install message keeps appearing. Is there a way to open previous tabs WITHOUT opening all of them?

Recently (starting about 2 weeks ago), when I click on something (usually a link) in Chrome (on Windows 7), there is probably a 1-5% chance (a couple of times per day) Chrome will open this page on a new tab:

I didn't install any new extension, I doubt it is caused by extensions.

Another weird behaviour (that may or may not be related):
Starting about a month ago, is when I click a link with target=_blank, it is sometimes opening it in the same tab.

I'm not the only one seeing Phone Emails: See this similar thread

Anyone has any idea what this could be?

EDIT:
After a full week of enabling/disabling extensions, I finally found that it was caused by an extension called Video Grabber (not in Chrome Web Store anymore) that I might have installed years ago.

How can the answer be improved? Turn off frequent folders windows 10. In the Start Menu tab, uncheck “Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar” and “Store and display recently opened programs in the Start menu”. Turning off recent items and frequent places is easy to manipulate in Windows 10.

How To Stop Chrome From Opening On Startup Windows 10

  1. Check your extensions. Make sure there is nothing weird on there.
  2. Reinstall Chrome
  3. Check installed software in your PC. Make sure no software was installed without your permission. If there is some, remove it.

If these steps don't resolve your problem, try switching browsers.

Oh you're using phone right, so if I've faced this problem , Below suggestions might help How to remove watermark filmora.

1.Check is there any apk(application either from playstore or others) were installed. Identify what application and then google it if other user might face the same problem.2.Recheck your chrome settings. Make sure nothing weird on there

Otherwise, this is my opinion. Sometimes I have installed certain games and application from 3rd party and then after installing and use it for few times. Sometimes, either once a day or more chrome automatically open up and went to certain sites in playstore. Its nothing to do with virus bzoc that is another way of promoting certain application to people. 100 % not virus I think bcoz it linked up with playstore. If link to another website then it may be.
