Have you ever closed your Chrome window accidentally and wished it would automatically reopen? Well, you're in luck! In this article, we'll show you how to set up Chrome to automatically open a new window every time it closes.
Step 1: Open Chrome Settings
The first step is to open the Chrome settings. To do this, click on the three vertical dots in the top-right corner of the Chrome window, then select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Access Advanced Settings
In the Chrome settings, scroll down to the bottom and click on the "Advanced" option.
Step 3: Find the "On startup" Section
Once you're in the advanced settings, scroll down until you find the "On startup" section. This section allows you to control what happens when you start Chrome.
Step 4: Enable the "Continue where you left off" Option
In the "On startup" section, you'll see a few options. To automatically open a new Chrome window every time it closes, enable the "Continue where you left off" option.

Step 5: Restart Chrome
After enabling the "Continue where you left off" option, you'll need to restart Chrome for the changes to take effect. Simply close Chrome and open it again.
Now, whenever you close Chrome, it will automatically reopen with all your previously opened tabs.
It's important to note that this method only applies to the main Chrome window. If you have multiple Chrome windows open and close one of them, the other windows will not be affected.
If you ever want to disable this feature and have Chrome start with a blank page, simply go back to the Chrome settings, access the "On startup" section, and select the "Open the New Tab page" option instead.
That's it! You've successfully set up Chrome to automatically open a new window every time it closes. Now you can browse the web without worrying about accidentally closing Chrome and losing your tabs.
Conclusion
Automatically reopening Chrome when it closes is a handy feature that can save you time and frustration. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily enable this feature and enjoy a seamless browsing experience.
