(Chrome on Win10) Why "Open as window" checkbox disappeared when creating shortcut of a page
I just got a new PC. One of the first things I do after installing Chrome is to create shortcuts of Gmail and Google Calendar etc as a stand-alone window and pin to task bar. I do it by clicking ☰ -> More Tools -> Create Shortcut.
However, I found the "Open as Window" checkbox is missing. No idea why. This makes the shortcut not a stand-alone window, which'll stack with the Chrome icon, which is not the desired outcome. How can I resolve this? Thanks!!
Solution
For the time being (Oct 2018), the answer is:
- Create the shortcut in the way you mentioned in your question
- Open chrome://apps
- Right-click the newly appeared app and choose "Open as window", then click the app to run it
- Pin to taskbar while it's open, if you want to
- If you did 4, you can now safely delete the new shortcut on the desktop, but don't delete the new app in chrome://apps
