Chrome Opens On Startup And Opens Microsoft Windows 10 help page
I noticed a strange behaviour when booting a relatively new installation of Windows 10. After logging in, Google Chrome opened shortly afterwards and opened a go.microsoft.com link which led to this
webpage:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...ndows-10Chrome
It's listed nowhere on the startup section of taskmanager and I couldn't find any registry values pertaining to the go link or the URL it would go to afterwards. I tried to search the problem and saw that some Windows 10 update made it so that when the system shuts down it will relaunch any programs that were open during the shutdown sequence, but it wouldn't make sense for a go.microsoft.com link since that link only appears briefly before resolving to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...?os=windows-10 which I would imagine would appear first if the latter problem were the case. I tried seeing would it appear if I shutdown Windows with Chrome open on a single, unrelated webpage, and when it rebooted it opened the same microsoft link and alongside the other page, but has stopped since.
Would anyone have idea on what might cause this behaviour, or know where in Windows 10 the link is which leads to that URL? I'm just trying to figure out what may have caused this as it seems unusual and if it were possibly from having clicked a help link somewhere in Windows 10. Thank you for the help!
