Action on startup
Setting the policy lets you specify system behavior on startup. Turning this setting off amounts to leaving it unset as Google Chrome must have specified start up behavior.
If you set the policy, users can't change it in Google Chrome. If not set, users can change it.
Setting this policy to RestoreOnStartupIsLastSession turns off some settings that rely on sessions or that perform actions on exit, such as clearing browsing data on exit or session-only cookies.
On Microsoft® Windows®, this functionality is only available on instances that are joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain domain, running on Windows 10 Pro, or enrolled in Chrome Browser Cloud Management. On macOS, this functionality is only available on instances that are managed via MDM, or joined to a domain via MCX.
Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 family
