Issue descriptionChrome Version: 57.0.2987.21 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) OS: Windows User uses this flag to run different instances of the Chrome Browser (one for work and one for personal). Today, this flag stopped working. User attempted to open from the command-line as well, and while Chrome does open with no errors or warnings, it doesn't open a new instance and instead opens the default user profile. uninstall/reinstall has no change in behavior Forum : https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/chrome/qBtMVPQILyI/cZI5VEooBgAJ Google Chrome 57.0.2987.21 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) Revision ea2ea29d648ff1eddde17a09074e3ba943a21fd5-refs/branch-heads/2987@{#259} OS Windows JavaScript V8 5.7.492.35 Flash 24.0.0.194 C:\Users\Matt\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash\24.0.0.194\pepflashplayer.dll User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.21 Safari/537.36 Command Line "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --no-startup-window /prefetch:5 --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end Executable Path C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe Profile Path C:\Users\Matt\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default Variations 1e528f0f-3b7f37f3 38eb801c-3f4a17df 7c1bc906-f55a7974 1c752ce9-f23d1dea ba3f87da-f23d1dea a5cb8590-3f4a17df 58aac55e-ca7d8d80 5ca89f9-3f4a17df f3499283-2f3631ce 349d561b-3d47f4f4 9e201a2b-3f4a17df 5274eb09-3f4a17df 9773d3bd-3f4a17df 93731dca-3f4a17df 2e109477-cdab42b5 9e5c75f1-f09cf7b1 6b121ae7-ca7d8d80 f79cb77b-3f4a17df 23a898eb-4c21fc8d 4ea303a6-f23d1dea 7aa46da5-669a04e0 9736de91-ca7d8d80 ca314179-ca7d8d80 69bf80fa-f23d1dea b2f0086-93053e47 7fc902e8-3f4a17df f11cb941-f11cb941 6844d8aa-669a04e0 3ac60855-486e2a9c f296190c-31d50f90 4442aae2-d7f6b13c ed1d377-e1cc0f14 75f0f0a0-d7f6b13c e2b18481-3a9ae350 e7e71889-e1cc0f14 828a5926-ca7d8d80 Compiler MSVC 2015 (PGO)

+some signin and FRE folks. We should definitely make sure this flag is working, since it's necessary for testing out certain flows (e.g. the new desktop FRE).

I think this should be a stable blocker.

I can't reproduce it on Linux 57.0.2987.21, on Linux top of tree and macOS top of tree. Mihai, can you try on windows?

During development I always use a --user-data-dir on Windows and it works fine for me on Trunk ToT. So this may be a problem with M57. @Test Eng: Before Could you please confirm that you can reproduce this bug on the latest Chrome M57?

Rechecked this on chrome version 57.0.2987.21 and on chrome version 57.0.2987.40 using Windows 10 and unable to reproduce it. Followed the below steps: 1) Installed chrome and using command prompt, navigated to executable path displayed in chrome version and entered "chrome.exe --user-data-dir=c:\foo" 2) Observed that a folder directory named "foo" was created and chrome was launched. Same flag appended is also displayed in chrome://version. Attached is a screen shot for the same, please let us know if any other steps has to be followed here. Removing Test Confirmation label, please add if required again. Thanks.!

I'm going to go ahead and close this out as WontFix. Please re-open if we're able to get a repro scenario.

Hi Chromium team, i am facing the same reported error on Did not know exactly when start it. But when i am trying to open my chrome it open my main instance not my alt instance. I Manage to open it only from my pinned shortcut under most visited. I am attaching both version screens first when i used the most visited link and the other one when i use the short cut.
