  1. From PowerShell:
notepad $PROFILE.CurrentUserAllHosts
  1. If notepad prompts you to create a new file, choose Yes.
  2. Add the following to the file and save it. Adjust the values as necessary to match your desired preferences.
function Fix-Chrome {
    try {
        # This may be superfluous
        del HKCU:\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\Recommended\ -Recurse -ErrorAction Stop
    } catch [System.Management.Automation.ItemNotFoundException] {}
    Set-ItemProperty HKCU:\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome HomepageIsNewTabPage 1
    Set-ItemProperty HKCU:\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome ShowHomeButton 0
    Set-ItemProperty HKCU:\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome RestoreOnStartup 1 # Restore the last session
}
  1. Whenever needed, run the following command at an elevated PS prompt and then relaunch Chrome:
Fix-Chrome
