When going through my list of startup programs, I found that expanding chrome shows up a huge list of chrome processes!
What is especially striking is that even while browsing there are only 10 processes in the process detail list while there are 19 scheduled to startup in the startup list!
I am aware about the fact that chrome takes multi-threading to new heights by spawning processes representing each tab, extension, and other background services, etc but is this true for even the windows startup?
Ultimately, Is it normal for chrome to schedule a separate process for each of its modules on windows startup?
If not is there any remedy besides entirely disabling the chrome startup? Since I would like to selectively have certain modules startup on boot though.
Other relevant information:
- OS: Windows 8.1 x64
- Device: Toshiba Satellite
- Chrome Version: 39.0.2171.65 m -
If you are worried disable them. I use Chrome often, I have no startup entry for Chrome, on any of my machines. – Ramhound – 2014-11-19T14:06:02.467
@Ramhound I would like to know that there are no, feasible alternatives before coming to that conclusion though. There are particular extensions that I would like to have startup like the hangouts extension, etc – reubenjohn – 2014-11-19T14:10:04.370
