If there is more than one entry, then that is your problem and the unwanted tab or tabs must be deleted. This is what was on my PC:Īny number of pages can be set here and each one will be opened in its own tab when Chrome is started. Go to the On startup section and it will be set to Open a specific page or set of pages. If it is not an extension, the problem is in the settings. If it starts up OK then you will know that the cause is one of the extensions you disabled. Are you sure that you need them all? Are there any that you don’t remember adding? One of them could be the cause of the extra tab, so disable them all, close Chrome and restart it. Enter chrome://extensions in the address box and take a close look at each one. The cause is either in Chrome’s settings or extensions. The cause is always the same and it is usually quite easy to solve. In my case the problem was that a blank tab was opening along with the home page, but it could be a website, search engine, ad page and so on. What is causing this behaviour and how do you stop it? Here are some tips for solving the problem.

An irritating fault that can occur with Chrome is that when it is started, it opens your home page as normal, but then it also opens another page on another tab.
