This will keep any program in the background alive, thus not only Chrome. (domain) admins not do that. They should/must log out instead of locking desktops.

Chrome browser is being used by domain admins.  I have noticed that there are "sensitive Privilege use" successful events during the night hours requested by chrome.exe.  I have looked for 'hardening ' suggestions for Chrome.  There are hundreds.   Typically, domain admins lock their desktop in the evening which leaves Chrome up and running in the background.  We have several web portals from our federal headquarters that run in Chrome and not IE or Edge.   We are moving to Windows 10 and most of the domain admins are using Windows 10.  We will be moving to Standard user accounts in the next 60 days.  For the next 60 days, I have concerns about event 4674 from chrome.exe.

How to harden Chrome.exe when logged in as admin?

Chrome is a free web browser created by Google. Originally released in 2008, it has grown to become the most used desktop web browser (as of October 2016).

Chrome

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
