Note: checkboxes in settings are as follows:


On startup
[ ] Open the New Tab page
[ ] Continue where you left off
[x] Open a specific page or set of pages

As per comment #0 and comment #3 issue seems to be a Enterprise related. Hence adding TE-NeedsTriageFromHYD label to it.

Unable to reproduce the issue on Windows 10 with chrome #68.0.3440.106

Updated chrome policy in Google-> Google Chrome - Default Settings (users can override)-> Startup pages

Steps Followed:
================
1. Applied startup page as https://duckduckgo.com through GPO policy
2. On Windows 10, in chrome://settings-> in startup pages added site https://www.wikipedia.org

Launched the chrome multiple times and Observed both sites are opening on each startup.

Attaching the screen-cast for reference.

Hi,

The problem seems to be intermittent as a couple of users reporting this issue.
When I ask them to check via chrome://policy the settings are applied (via GPO).


I just checked myself, and when launching Chrome on the very first run I got the google page. (instead of the defined startup page), when starting the next times, the startup page is opend.



The issue can be replicated by me as follow:

1) Delete the Windows local user profile of the user you are testing with
2) Login with user (for the very first time, windows local user profile is created)
3) Observed via regedit and procmon that [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\Recommended\RestoreOnStartupURLs] does exists (hence GPO is applied correctly at user logon)
4) Launch Chrome (and observe one tab "New tab" is opened with Google, instead of the defined startup page)
5) Close Chrome
6) Start Chrome again (an observe, now the startup page is correctly opened)
8) Repeat step 1->8; everytime issue can be reproduced


After some digging, I found at a "First Run" file is created, so what I tried is, before launching Chrome for the very first time, creating this file -> [%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\First Run]

After doing this, straight away the Startup page is being displayed :)

So strange for me is that this configured startup page in the policy is not being opened in a new tab as a second tab net to the first tab with the Google Page as "First Run".

Hi. It looks like you might be hitting  issue 824059 , which is fixed in Chrome 69. I think that the problem you're having will go away soon when Chrome 69 reaches stable channel.

Additionally, I'll point out that we've added a PromotionalTabsEnabled policy setting to explicitly suppress any sort of future full-tab pages that we may introduce to inform users of new features and such. You may wish to set that to False once you update to Chrome 69 to avoid any surprises.
