Are you in full control of this PC? Because this is usually done as a domain policy.<br />
<br />
Check if the shortcut you use is &quot;clean&quot;, click properties: &quot;C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Applic<wbr />ation\chro<wbr />me.exe&quot;<br />
There should be nothing else behind it. If there is,remove it.<br />
<br />
Or if you have an older version, check if you can find the Guest mode in your settings (it's not there anymore in the newest), and disable it.<br />
<br />
Also check startup page settings.

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.
