Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed is enabled by default on installation

Reported by hitendra...@gmail.com, Sep 25

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Download, Install and Launch Google Chrome
2. Select Settings> Advanced>
3. Under System, the setting "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" is enabled

What is the expected behavior?
"Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" should be disabled.

What went wrong?
Installation is setting "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" to enabled.

In our Enterprise we're not controlling this setting via policy and should be disabled as per policy notes "If this policy is left unset, background mode is initially disabled and can be controlled by the user in the browser settings."

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 69.0.3497.100  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0

Assign this to Julian as this is Windows (and most probably Linux) problem.

Looking at the code it seems this default has been always like this so I would rather tend to change the documentation rather than the behavior as many more people might rely on the current behavior than the documentation. 

I would suggest you set the policy as a recommended setting to false so that the default is false and this will still allow your users that want this to turn it back on.

Thanks for your reply and guidance.

For completeness it would make sense for you to change the documentation to reflect this as mentioned above please.
