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).
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 under…
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.
Also, pinned tabs are always loaded at startup.

In the name of humanity, wouldn't it be nice if people were in the habit of shutting their computers down, rather than letting them burn through electricity all night long?
"This is serious. Though it never occurred on my computer because I use neither Windows nor Chrome but I support this anyway in the name of humanity."

Good bug to address but who allows Windows to power itself up and install updates unsupervised? Not a good idea.
I think a good solution for both of our problems would be to not load any of the Flash content in a particular tab if the tab hasn't received focus since the application was restarted. Once I open that tab, the plugin can load at that point and then the video can start playing.
