Windows 10 has a startup folder in the Start Menu in which you can drop shortcuts to applications you want to start automatically.
In previous versions of Windows it was pretty easy to find but Windows 10 has made it a little more difficult.
- Press the Windows key and R together to open the run dialog
- Type in
shell:startup
and press OK, an explorer window will open up - Copy and paste a shortcut to Chrome from your desktop to this window.
- Restart your PC and Chrome will automatically launch.
There is also a special mode called kiosk mode that will limit Windows to a single program. This is usually used for public access terminals.

I want to launch a program when I log in
Add a shortcut to the program you want to start (chrome in your case) to:
C:\Users\Your user name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
How to add or remove startup apps in Windows 10
Startup items for the current user are stored usually at two locations: the Registry and the special "Startup" folder. The Startup folder is an easier way to manage apps. To add or remove an app from the Startup folder, you need to do the following:
Press Win+R shortcut keys together and type the following into the Run box:
shell:Startup
The text above is a special shell command which will open the Startup folder for you directly.
The Startup folder is located here:
C:\Users\Your user name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Just copy and paste a shortcut in this folder so that the app loads when Windows boots. To remove the application from the Startup folder, delete the appropriate shortcut.
