I think the problem is that the user has set Chrome to run on boot. If he removed Chrome from the startup list this problem would not occur.

I think the problem is that the user still had his/her speakers turned on. They should've been turned off or muted, same with his/her cellphone (if any).

I can confirm this solution works for me.

I don't think it's necessary to set Chrome to run on every boot, I think it's registering to be restarted once after the unattended reboot that Windows Update is doing.

edit: Yep, it's calling RegisterApplicationRestart: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#search/&q=...

Cute. One "solution" of course is to set the 'On startup' setting to anything other than 'continue where I left off.'.

Well, I go to a lot of the same pages every day, so I very much want to continue whee I left off, but not necessarily to start playing media at once.

you know what I'd love (all you enterprising Chrome plugin developers): let me view and manage my open tabs through the same sort of large icon interface that appears on the New Tab page. I wouldn't mind being able to organize my bookmarks that way either. I can't understand why nobody has attempted to do anything different with the bookmark interface for years now.

Firefox 'solves' this by only loading tabs that have been given the focus upon auto-restart. So, if you have 10 tabs opened, and your computer restarts and Firefox is opened, the only tab that will actually load is the one that was last active.

>> "by only loading tabs" and then "the only tab"

So, Firefox opens tabs or tab (as in juts one tab or many/all tabs)?

Because in my case it opens all the tabs and if there were 20, it opens all. Even though the last time I opened them was 3-4 hours before the browser was closed/crashed.

update: I had missed the point. Thanks @thirtian for clearing up.
