Chrome/Chromium doesn't work on multiple virtual desktop on Windows 7

Reported by maxime4...@gmail.com, Feb 27 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install this (Desktops) : 
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881
2. Have chrome already open in one virtual desktop
3. Switch to an other virtual desktop
4. Try opening Chrome and it doesn't work

What is the expected behavior?
Would open in all virtual desktop. So I could work with chrome and search different thing on each Virtual Desktop.

What went wrong?
Won't open in a second virtual desktop

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 56.0.2924.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: 

There is some limitation about the virtual desktop where, I use Dual Monitor and it can only be on one virtual desktop and If I try using WindowGrid (http://windowgrid.net/) I get Exception from the application on other virtual desktop than the principal.

By the way I install Chromium with chocolatey and open chromium in the second vd and it was working on the second but when i try launching it in an other vd it wasn't working. So I guess it stick with the one that start chrome process.
