  • Key was single dash -kiosk instead of --kiosk Commented Feb 9, 2016 at 12:17
  • "Close all Chrome sessions first!" is a bad solution! Having the --app= makes it spawn a new window regardless of other chrome windows being opened. Commented Oct 4, 2016 at 8:56

    You need to close all running instances of Chrome before new flags will take effect since spawning new windows spawns from existing executable. Try creating two desktop shortcuts both pointing to the same executable, but flag one with '--kiosk'. If you start the non-kiosk mode link first, then start the kiosk mode link, it'll still open in non-kiosk mode. Then try it the other way around, start the kiosk mode link first, then the non-kiosk mode, and you'll find they are both in kiosk mode! Win10/Chrome64 Commented Mar 6, 2018 at 17:11
  • Mega +1 @DrewReese just spent ages figuring out why kiosk mode wasn't working only to realise I had one window still open... Commented Oct 17, 2018 at 10:59
  • When I tested this in 2018 the -fullscreen was not necessary, -kiosk sufficed. Commented Oct 29, 2018 at 0:59
