Startup Settings In Chrome Disabled
Today when I turn on my laptop I haven't got the tabs which I have left opened in Google Chrome under start up settings (Continue where I Left Off).
It is disturbing as I have opened some tabs from time to time. It is very time-consuming to re-open all those tabs again by seeing history. If anyone knows the solution please tell me.
I have attached picture here also.
Answer
Your screenshot shows that the setting is enforced by your admin.
Check Settings - On Startup Is the "Continue where I left off" radio button selectable? Is the radio button "Open a specific page or set of pages" selected? Are there yellow marks around it? When you mouse-over the marks you see "This setting is enforced by your administrator."
This is controlled by the registry keys under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Policies/Google/Chrome
(try HKEY_CURRENT_USER if this does not work for you)
5 = Open New Tab Page
1 = Restore the last session
4 = Open a list of URLs
Example value: 0x00000004 (Windows), 4 (Linux), 4 (Mac)
"Action on startup Data type:
Integer (REG_DWORD)
Windows registry location:
Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\RestoreOnStartup
Mac/Linux preference name: RestoreOnStartup
Supported on: Google Chrome (Linux, Mac, Windows) since version 8 Google Chrome OS (Google Chrome OS) since version 11

Description: Allows you to specify the behavior on startup. If you choose 'Open New Tab Page' the New Tab Page will always be opened when you start Google Chrome. If you choose 'Restore the last session', the URLs that were open last time Google Chrome was closed will be reopened and the browsing session will be restored as it was left. Choosing this option disables some settings that rely on sessions or that perform actions on exit (such as Clear browsing data on exit or session-only cookies). If you choose 'Open a list of URLs', the list of 'URLs to open on startup' will be opened when a user starts Google Chrome. If you enable this setting, users cannot change or override it in Google Chrome. Disabling this setting is equvalent to leaving it not configured. The user will still be able to change it in Google Chrome.
