Run chrome in fullscreen mode on Windows

Which

Answer 1

for anyone here that want to open a new chrome window without url bar it is not called kiosk mode, it is called app mode. and the command to append to your chrome path is:

--app=https://google.com

Answer 2

In order for the target path:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk WEBSITE TO OPEN

to work, you need to quit all chrome processes, including background process. You can actually disallow chrome to run in background.

But, there is an alternative to using the above approach.

• Add the kiosk app(extension) to your chrome.
• In the kiosk app settings, give the URL and other details as appropriate(You can launch the app from webstore after adding it to chrome).
• From the extensions window of chrome, click on details of Kiosk extension and click on create app shortcuts button.
• Use the shortcuts created to enter chrome in kiosk mode.

Answer 3

close the browser and just try this way "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk

Answer 4

You can use the following code to open the Chrome browser in a full window or kiosk mode on Windows 7:

taskkill /IM chrome.exe
start chrome.exe --kiosk -tab "www.url.com"

Answer 5

Even if the chrome browser is closed down, all instances of Chrome.exe in the Windows Task Manager need to be manually closed. Even if testing when a PC is freshly turned on, I still need to close instances of Chrome.exe from the Windows Task Manager.

When all instances are closed, running a shortcut with the following target seems to work:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --chrome --fullscreen --kiosk

Does anyone know how to stop the instances of Chrome.exe in the Windows Task manager interfering?

Answer 6

• Step 1: Add new user. Create a name and image for it.
• Step 2: Create desktop shortcut (Check the checkbox that says "Create desktop shortcut")
• Step 3: Go to Desktop, right-click the shortcut, left-click "Properties".
• Step 4: Under "Target", at the end of the string, type "--kiosk" (without the quotes)
• Step 5: Click Apply, close ALL OPEN INSTANCES OF CHROME, and start Chrome from that shortcut you created in Step 2.
• The end. I have looked it up myself, and it works 100%.
