2. Chrome session restore
Use settings that reopen previous pages when appropriate for your security model.
3. Tab Rotator resume
Enable supported startup/recovery options so rotation can continue after Chrome returns. Verify on a real reboot test.
What to document after a reboot test
- Does the OS auto-login (if allowed)?
- Does Chrome open on its own?
- Do tabs restore or must a playlist reload?
- Does Tab Rotator resume without clicking Start?
Honest expectations
Tab Rotator can help resume rotation inside Chrome after supported interruptions. It does not power-cycle the PC or unlock disk encryption for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Tab Rotator reboot the PC?
No. It can help resume rotation inside Chrome after supported interruptions, not power-cycle the machine.
Should Chrome restore the last session?
Often helpful for displays, but follow your security policy-restored sessions can reopen sensitive pages.
What if only some tabs restore?
Prefer a URL playlist so the wall can rebuild from known links instead of relying on whatever was open last.
