Per the answers to this question, I closed Chrome from the taskbar, ensured there were no chrome.exe entries in Task Manager, opened C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences in Notepad++, removed the ,"window_placement":{...} portion, saved, and reopened Chrome. There was no change in the defaults. I also tried modifying the settings instead of removing them altogether, but they just changed back when I opened Chrome again. I suspect something's changed in the past six years -- the settings have to be stored somewhere.

(I don't even know how it got changed to a tiny window way off-screen to the top-right in the first place. It was like that when I opened it, and I hadn't restarted since before the last time I opened Chrome the night before.)

  • You should be able to change the size of the window with the standard keyboard shortcuts

  • My goal is not just to resize the window, but to make it so that in the future, a new window will open with the original default size.
