I need Chrome to startup with multiple windows with different tabs in each.
Is there an extension I can use for this or a setting I don't know about? I am able to do this in Firefox using session manager but I cannot use Firefox for this.

Assuming you are running Windows, follow these steps:

1. Install a second Chrome: How to have two separate installations of Chrome on one PC
   


2. Open your favorite text editor (if you don't have one, use Notepad)


3. 
   

   Write the following batch code:

   
   
   

   @echo off
   
   cd "path/to/chrome"
   
   start chrome.exe
   
   
   
   cd "path/to/chrome2"
   
   start chrome.exe
   
   exit
   
   

   
   



4. Save as chrome_launcher.bat




5. Replace Chrome shortcut with a shortcut to the batch file




6. Disable sync on both Chrome applications if necessary




7. Change on startup section of settings in both Chrome applications differently

Hope this helps!

Unpin Chrome from your taskbar. Make sure you unpin all instances. Then go into your menu button and find Chrome again. Open a window and pin that window to the taskbar. Solved the problem for me

Is that on a Windows environment? It would be nice if you explained your needs better ... anyway:

You can set which pages will be loaded when Chrome starts in Settings >> On Startup >> Open a specific page or set of pages. Set the pages you want to be loaded.

Also, if you need them to be loaded on Windows Startup, then you can copy a Chrome shortcut to the Startup Folder. On Windows 8, it is located at:
%AppData%MicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup

I hope it helps.

I use AutoHotkey to open up five windows of Chrome across three monitors, with one on the leftmost (primary) monitor, and two on each of the other two monitors. My script is below. It's not the most elegant; I use 600ms breaks between actions to avoid issues since the computer is still slow when starting up.
